This week was a hard one.
This is what I want to remember:
- Christmas Eve tamales, Christmas day pumpkin pancakes, Christmas evening buffet overlooking the harbor
- Movie nights with my parents
- The text-messages from a few friends to check in and make sure I’m okay
- Visiting with the Love family
- Knott’s, Nert’s, & The Holiday
- Waffles & Sherlock
- Seeing my LBFC family on Christmas
- The different ways that a few people came through for me
-
That green shirt is the one that he wore when (after a series of letters and telegrams) he first visited my mother and their relationship started.
This is what I want to forget:
-How sad, lonely, and forgotten I felt.
-The different ways I felt let down by others. People are human. I can forgive.
-How guilty and immature I felt for feeling so profoundly sad when I should be celebrating joyfully.
