Memorial Day

It's been a month and three days since mom passed away.

I understand that today is about honoring our soldiers, civilians, and families who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect our nation and her interests abroad with the hope of building peace. I honor those serving today, too. There is no template of words that can describe the brevity of my gratitude to you, so I will simply say, "Thank you."

My thoughts today are an efflux of also remembering those near and dear to me who are no longer...my mother, my nephew Noah, Auntie Jean, my grandparents, Raina, work colleagues, and even family members of good friends who I never met.

I want to say thank you for your life. Thank you for being a part of mine. Thank you for changing it. Today, especially, I remember you.

Coming Home

Sitting at the terminal in Reagan right now. I'm looking across from me and can picture mom sitting there, telling me she's excited to eat Cuban food and sushi. I can see her doing something on her phone and I'm asking, "Whatcha looking at mom?" 

      "I just sold another dress on Poshmark!" Or, "Kate Spade is having another sale!"

      I'm telling her we'll go get some Cuban food for lunch after we land and definitely get some sushi before we have to come back. We always make time for a little shopping, too...

I miss you so much mom, come back to me.
