On February 20, 2012, at 4 p.m. in the afternoon, my momma died. I put the date on my calendar but I don't need an electronic device to remind me. I woke up at dawn this morning with her on my mind.
She would have loved the weather today. The mercury eased into the low 80s with a gentle wind out of the west. She kept her space heater on at her house 10 month out of the year. The only time her gas bill went down was in July and August.
I spent most of the day Writing, but after lunch, I went out back as sat on the deck in the sun. Gray clouds seemed to be confused by the sudden heatwave so that seemed to race off in different directions.
It didn't take long to realize that if I lingered there was a good chance my un-sun-screened face would get blistered so I stepped back inside.
I hope your day has been a good one. And if your mom is still alive, don't miss an opportunity to tell her how much she means to you.
