RE: Memoir Monday: My Mother and My Sadnesses

in Silver Bloggers3 days ago

I am very very lucky that she has a job that allows her to work remotely. She comes here and works a few times a year, I go to Nashville for an extended visit annually where my other daughter joins us. When I drive either of them to the airport, I also watch them walk away for as long as I can see them. I suck up every single moment I can. For both my daughters. The other daughter comes a bit less often, but still several times a year. We all three manage to get together several times a year. Having lost one, I treasure every moment. I am so saddened for my friends who rarely see their grown children, usually sons.

It's lovely to be posting again. Thanks for the appreciation! I still have to write for the prompt about finding your true vocation, which is the reason I haven't been posting! I had to make space for studying.

I'm glad you're able to get together with your daughters regularly to share that valuable time. I try to make it home 3-4 times a year to see my family but, especially as my Mom is getting older, that doesn't feel like enough. We make the most of our time together though. I love how effortless it always seems once I'm there. I'm already looking forward to the next post, I'm intrigued to learn what you've been up to!
