The First Christmas Without Mom

My mom passed away Sept., 22 as many of you know. This is the first holiday season without her. I am sure it will hit home a little later, but at this time, I just know she is enjoying all the lights and spirit from another perspective.

With her Alzheimer's she, and I mean "her", who she is/was - well, she was gone a long time. The season will be less painful with respect to watching her not be able to follow our family conversation and the sadness and confusion in her eyes of knowing she doesn't know but not really knowing what it is she is not following.

Wierd, I know...

We all miss her, but she is in a better place.
