Right around this time of year I miss my mother more than most other times. This year has been slightly tougher. Turning 30 was hard, and not having her around made it a bit more bitter and confusing. However, around the holidays my heart yearns for her a little more.
The positive side? Even though she isn't around anymore, there are so many things that remind me of her it's like she's still here. I see or hear her in her favorite Christmas songs, in the Christmas movies we used to watch together, or in baking her favorite cookies. I find myself suddenly smiling in loving memory at the sound of a tune or the mention of one of her favorite anythings. It's like feeling her come down for a brief moment and wrapping her arms around me.
And that is priceless.
