my mother asked for a statue of Ganesha on her last Christmas. I don't know why, we have no Asian blood that I know of but she was interested in religions. I kept that statue, it sits on my 'bookshelves'. She didn't fight at the end, she went to sleep and the spirochetes from Lyme finally overwhelmed her. I don't want to get all mushy about how she told us not to waste our time. This is a beautiful entry, my mother is heavy on my mind lately.

I love elephants and I adore Ganesha and have several in my home and pay homage and give offerings often. The great remover or obstacles.

I think the connection with our roots, those who have gone before is so vital and beautiful and I hope you will celebrate even the grief as a way of honoring your love and memories. <3

there are certain times of the year I feel her - and my dad and my brother - close. I guess probably right now because that last summer with her, *I* knew she was ill but I never knew how ill until we took her to urgent care and she never came home.

I suffer from depression, among other things, and also have been experiencing a lot of nihilistic thoughts.

However. I agree with you. Appreciate what you can in life. The soft fur from animals. The warm water. Etc. That's what life is about. So I try my best to just be in the moment, be grounded, and experience life as it is.
