Today is my first Mother's Day without Mom and Thursday will be my first birthday without her. This week is going to suck and be filled with tears.
My days are filled with as much as I can pack in to keep myself distracted, but my thoughts are never far from her right now despite my best efforts.
I never meant for my mother's death to be my introduction to the SG community, but I don't really have anywhere else that I don't have to keep up a brave face.
Incidentally, I also wanted to thank all of you that commented on my last post for your love and support. I've been meaning to write something to all of you individually but time has gotten away from me. I promise to be better with responses this time.
Please stay healthy and safe. The coronavirus took my mother. I don't want it to take you too.
