Today is the first anniversary of my mother's death

[luvflorida]

and I'd just like to ask everyone to please take the time today to reach out to a loved one and give a few extra minutes of your time. Give them your complete attention, really listen to them, give an extra hug or kiss, laugh with them, do whatever will bring a smile to someone's face.

I just got off the phone with my younger brother. He is on the other coast, so we don't get the chance to see each other as much as we'd like. We talked for an hour and we both felt so much better about today. His calling prompted me to call my favorite "auntie", my mother's sister. We also had a nice chat.

I miss my mother every single day, but I'm now able to think about her with more smiles and less tears.

You offer sage advice. We should cherish our loved ones and remember they may not always be here.

I just went through my own anniversary and I honestly found it harder than the day it happened.

Tomorrow is 4 years for my mom. Hard to believe.
