Been a melancholy day today. Nothing seemed to go right at work. Not to mention being triple-booked. People have expectations. And I as much as any.
I never expected my kids to grow up without my mom being around. I was sure I would have the other problem - keeping her from spoiling them. But today marks two years without her, and it's starting to settle in on my heart. And it's settling heavy.
I called my dad. He said he raised the flags today. I thought he meant he raised them to half mast. But he's been flying them half mast the whole month of July. He has dubbed today as my mom's Independence Day.

The thing I have always had such a hard time with in life is how little time there is for grief. You gotta keep those plates spinning, you know.
I know what it is to really, really miss someone. I lost my Papa 15 years ago and I still miss him so very much.
I pray that you have time to pause and time to grieve as you need.
