memories
8 months and 7 days…
I was reading a post on one of my favorite blogs, Yesterdays Memories and she got me thinking. Not about my Dad, but about accents, particularily southern and midwestern accents. Growing up, and living in the Northeast, I have always had a “yankee” accent. But as a child, I would visit my relatives and if we spent more than about 2 days, I would start to pick up the accent. It wasnt a drastic change, which was why I was able to pick it up so easily.
So I started thinking fondly about my visits…and then sadly about the last visit. I used to love to visit, now part of me dreads it. It has been 8 months and 7 days, since he died.
…now I need my box of tissues.

Oh Dawn, I’m so sorry that such an innocent post dug so deep. I’m going to have to get into that box of tissues with you, I fear.
I know what you mean, though. A lot of times, when I’m writing a post on Yesterday’s Memories, that has absolutely positively nothing at all to do with my Mama, I’ll suddenly make some kind of brain leap, and there I am, thinking of her, feeling her, pushing back the tears, just as I am right now. Aren’t we gloriously blessed to have had a parent we loved like that and who loved us like that????
Please dont worry. I have written you an email, to talk furthter
