Mom

I saw you in the grocery store yesterday….

I about started to bawl right there in the frozen isle.

Obviously it wasn’t really you… just some lady who looked so similiar… her hair cut and color were just like yours… she was turned to the side gabbing with a friend.

I just stood frozen staring….and staring. My eyes welled with tears but I couldn’t look away….

I just wanted a few more minutes “with” you……

It’s been almost 2 years since you’ve been gone, but i’m still waiting to pick up the phone and hear you say, “Hi Laur”……

Not one day has gone by that I haven’t thought of you… been mad, sad, upset or regretful…….

I hope that lady is back at Kroger next week.

Love you always

    Lauren, I love you dearly!!! Losing a mom just stinks. I can 100% relate to those emotions. I had a dream the other night and my mom was in it…I was so mad when I woke up. It was just good to hear her voice…I often times forget how it sounds.

    Love you!

    As a child who lost a parent two years ago myself I completely get that. Isn’t still just a little bit nice though for that moment to feel their presence. I too hope she’s back at the store again for you!
