Oh I See

This past weekend wasn't easy.  I guess because I could feel Sunday rolling towards me, and there would be no phone call to Momma.  I got an email from one of my best friends, and what he wrote helped me clear my head a bit and put things in perspective.  I have the rest of my life to miss my mom, and I shouldn't let her passing let me forget all the things I loved about her.  And to enjoy all the other great things in my life. 

I just want to say I see your signs Momma, and I miss you so much right now.  I promised myself this weekend that I was going to be more like you.  My modern-aesthetic and tom-boyish attitude always resisted fully embracing it all.  But in honor of you I hung my flag, put on my engagement ring and am listening to your old Lettermen records.

Thank you to Janie-Belle for buying me my very own flag.  Just like the one Momma got her and Sally.
