RE: Mom

My deepest condolences @dfinney
I am acquainted by a 50 year old friend that struggled with turning his life around finally from Drug dependency only to be diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. It was discovered by chance. Then he was gone within 6 months.
Losing anyone close hurts.
This last week, my depression sneaked up on me after having laundered and donated away most of Deb's cloths. I still have another part-filled box of clothes yet to finish just sitting in front of her side of the closet.
The other night I heard her voice call my name.
There is never enough time.
I also wished to have more time with Deb.
Taking another deep breath.
❤️
🙏

It is definitely a miracle mom has made it over years after her diagnosis. My friend’s husband and one of my cousin’s husbands both lost their moms just months after they were found to have pancreatic cancer. It (and all cancers are so stupid and cruel).

It so hard to let go of your person’s physical possessions. Like it is weird to see a life time of stuff they needed and treasured and now it is useless. And it becomes more sentimental to us who are left cause it is physical evidence that our people were real and just with us moments ago. We have barely started with grandma’s things and everyone is hard to let go now. I still have her hearing aids and the bag of clothes she brought to my house in the spare room cause it feels weird to let them go. 😢
