Today marks the three-year anniversary of the day I lost my mom to breast cancer.

She wasn't perfect—no one is, as a person, or as a mother—but I loved her all the same, and I deeply mourn the fact that our relationship was cut short before it truly had a chance to blossom. I've felt a sense of directionlessness that's only grown in intensity since her passing, but I know in my heart she'd be proud of me and all the growing up I've done since then regardless.

This is the last year I'll be living in the house we shared, but her heart will always be with me wherever I go. Wherever she is now, may she find rest and solace.

#mel's musings #currently wearing my pendant with her fingerprint as i'm writing this #not to get preachy but if (keyword “if”) you have a good relationship with your parents. treasure that #take care to cherish all the little moments spent together. because those are what you'll be clinging to most when they're gone #don't leave anything left unsaid. and remember there's no such thing as too many i love yous #a certain amount of grief and lack of closure is inevitable. but if you start making that effort now you'll have less regrets later #i wish i could say i followed that advice myself. but at the very least i know how to do better going forward #and i hope you all can do the same. if you've made it this far thanks for reading and pass on some love to someone you care about today <3
