celebrating
I didnt write anything yesterday for solid fear of not being able to handle it. Yesterday marked 6 years to the day my mom died as a result of breast cancer. She died around 3 o clock on a very rainy afternoon in Florida. My dumb ass didnt ask for the day off in time because I didnt realize how fast it was approaching, but with a few false starts I made it through the day.
Six years...
I cant help but wonder what my mom has been thinking during this time. When your parents are gone, you realize you still need their validation, even though you're close to 30 years old.
A friend is still working on my memorial tattoo *hopefully (grin)* and it's almost my birthday, so hopefully the two will come together in time. I'm not asking for anything else. I just want this tattoo. Depending on how big the design is and actually what it is, Im considering some wording. Either "this is not goodbye" - a line from a melissa etheridge song, or "gone but not forgotten"...hmmm. Some thing to consider.
I'll post pictures as soon as possible. I hope my parents will like it.
