It's been a year now. It still feels like yesterday and forever at the same time. Missing mom still, but she'd be happy for me with everything I have done since. I wish she could have been alive and healthy to go to Australia with me. She flew a lot more than I ever did and I'd bet she would have called me a baby on the plane for being scared of the turbulence. But she would have enjoyed meeting Bob and Deb and Will and Mike. She really would have liked Deb, Mike Bob's friend though, she would have liked him, but not his politics, he thought more like me. I know she would have loved downtown and the Water Taxis. She raised me on the weekends at a marina and she always loved the water and sailing.
I actually cried a couple times while there, especially at the zoo because I wanted her to be with me there to pet the kangaroos and hold the Koala with me.
My bigger task though is now, replacing my house. I know she'd bug me to "just do it". Mom was always decisive. I am sure once I get that done she would be smiling. 1 year and you never stop missing them.
