So Today

[zookeeper]

The woman who gave birth to me died on Monday, May 11-37 years ago. It was the day after Mother's Day. Upon being told, my first thought was "Thank God that's over"---which was then followed by extreme guilt. Indeed, I wanted a mother. Just not the one that I got. And yet nearly 4 decades later I have spent the day grieving for what was and might have been.

My thoughts are with you at this sad sad time.

Another forty years wouldn't make May 11 any less traumatic.

May you find Comfort, and Peace.

I feel you. Same with my father. October 29th will make 22 years since he died. In a lot of ways I think his death was better for my mother and I, and yet, I want a father dammit...

Reading this I am filled with sadness for you me and all suvuivos that had parents that they never had. A sadness and a loss for what never was to be.
