Surviving My Mother's Death. Part 9

     One day I was writing in my journal the thoughts of the day and I found myself writing to my Mom. Then I continued to do that so much that I decided to purchase a specific journal just for that.  It was such a smart idea to purchase a beautiful journal, seeing as my Mother was my best friend, it made sense to write all of my thoughts down. 

    It may seem weird to some but others will understand because it lifts a sadness that is unbelievably hard, even just for a few minutes.  Go to Michael's Craft Store (or something similar) pick the journal that best represents you, your loved one and the relationship you had with them. For me, it was something very feminine and solid that represented both my Mother and I. It is part of my healing process to write in it whenever I need to vent, cry and even express good news that ONLY she would understand.

My Mother's Only Daughter

 January 10, 2023     Today, I decided to not survive, but thrive! A few years ago I started writing on my blog again after the passing of my beautiful Mother, Alma Jean Dortch Littleton. It helped me to vent and at that time, begin my Life without her. But, I am not without her...she's here. I can feel her protecting me and guiding my decisions every day. She is just not here physically. Although many people in my family would always call me her junior, it is more apparent now. The way I jumped into hosting mode to make sure my entire home was cleaned, food stocked, fresh sheets and towels available for family coming from out of town for her funeral, all while looking well put together, was such a mom thing. I made sure everyone was comfortable and couldn't stop cleaning and hosting. I could see the worry in my aunts, uncle and cousins eyes. I couldn't stop making sure everything was perfect.       Perfect for MY MOM's FUNERAL and for the family. She ...

My Mother's Only Child. I Voted!!!

      I have memories of my mother being excited to see me vote for the first time. It was at the public library and the excitement that we had was quite overwhelming. Years later, after her death I felt my mom with me today as I voted for a person that represents me and many others in this country. I could feel her hug on me as I became emotional while stepping up in line. I feel confident, calm and excited! Yes, it's still a bit overwhelming and as tired as I am, I am READY!!! We got this!!! My Mothers Only Child.

Surviving My Mother's Death. A Blog Series Pt2

     Yesterday I decided that it was time for me to put my feelings in writing and go back to one of my passions, blogging. It's been years but here goes.       As my mother's only child, there was nothing that she wouldn't do for me. I'm sure others who were born to great mothers would understand this but especially those of us that were the only children of our parents union. After my parent's divorce, my mother made it a point to nurture my creativity at an early age while also focusing on a need for higher education. In doing so, I was surrounded by books and magazines focused on successful women in many industries.  The main point: there are no limits.
