Another memory

[vvalkyri]

Dglenn's quote of the day was from this article about lobster; I just remembered that Mom could take a couple hours finishing one, and the economics of same is why she would always make them at home, not eat them at restaurants. That and wanting to take the time.

I brought her seafood salad a few times most recently. She would always tell me not to

I feel it is the least i can do for her. I feel I owe it to her, and I owe it to her friends, but unfortunately the other problem is that I haven't done the things that need to happen in order to make it so that her friends can come together.

And I want her friends to come together such that I can get connections and memories, if that makes any sense...

It is comforting to learn that I am not alone in mostly having snapshots of memory, not the experiences.

Nope, not alone. As time passes, a few of the snapshots bring back feeling of experience. Or at least it has in my case. Peace!

I also have snapshots. I didn't have my parents as close to me as you, having moved out and away when I was 20, and never living in the same town, except for one important year in 1986. All else was long distance for me, a lot of it from DC to Florida. Short visits, and many of those with the various uncomfortable feeling of a guest (me) from out of town. Mom and Dad visited me four times in all those years.

Snapshots is a good and important way of expressing it. The snapshots are all the more precious to me.
