It’s about to be the seventh anniversary of my mom’s death, seven was her favorite number. I want to share seven things I miss about my mom. 1. I miss her insane over use of emojis, I’m taking least 15 hand picked emojis per text no matter the text. 2. I miss her love of dancing with the stars and her dedication to get me to like it, I’m sorry but I still don’t watch it. 3. I miss her asking if she can help with my homework then proceeding to just google each question and send me like 50 links. The thought was definitely there though. 4. I miss you making me toast with strawberry jam when I got sick and how you would leave it at the top of the stairs because you couldn’t get sick. 5. I miss how happy you got whenever I achieved literally anything, you would act like I won a million dollars even if it was just me getting an A on a test. 6. I miss your love of rummages and your impressive ability to find the most amazing things there. I still think of you every time I pass a rummage. 7. The thing I think I miss the most is how there you were for me. Any text would get a reply in a millisecond, I’ve never been sent to voicemail when I called you. You never failed to ask how my day was. You were my person. And I don’t know if I’ll ever stop feeling sad you’re gone and I don’t know if I’ll ever make peace with it but I do know that I’ll always love you and I’ll make sure you’re included even while not physically being here.
