A year and a week has passed since I moved to the bay area to be with my mom. Being in the bay area is a daily reminder why I am here in the first place. I initially came here to be with my mother and to take care of her...and now she is gone. I miss my mom so much and there's nothing I can do about it except pray to God that He would allow me to get a glimpse of my mother in my dreams. I still wish that I was the one who went instead of her. It's been quite a hard week over all because my mom has been in my thoughts everyday. I don't know if constant reminders of my mother everywhere is supposed to help dull the pain of losing her...or if I'm supposed to create new memories to replace sad memories...I don't know.
My parents' 48th anniversary is coming up soon. The heart-wrenching part of it is that my dad will be by himself. This year is going to be really hard for the whole family. I'm having a very hard time not having my mom with me anymore. Sometimes I wonder how people can go on. I guess God made us strong enough to cope hard losses.
