How has it been a year already?
My mom died a year ago today. It’s unbelievable that it’s been a year, but if I’m being honest, it felt like she was kind of gone long before she died. She had Parkinson’s for years. What an insidious and cruel disease. It was even worse for her because of how bright she was. Had she not stopped practicing psychologoy because of Parkinson’s, I’m certain she would have probably never retired. She was such a good listener and I loved her dark sense of humor. My sister told her to send us ladybugs as signs and let me tell you, we all see ladybugs all the time! On my first business trip after she died, a ladybug landed on me IN A PLANE! We all see them everywhere, which is so wonderful. I wish she was still here, but not siffering the way she did from Parkinson’s and dementia. I was so lucky to have her as my mom.
