Thinking of you today. The last time I saw you we had a little brunch with goodies I bought from your favorite little french bakery in Encinitas. You sliced some fruit, brought out the butter and did the thing you love to do most, prepare a meal. It was fun to have you wait on me like mom's do, even though the day before, you spent hours at chemotherapy. With a tinge of guilt I sat and watched you as you got up to get me a glass, spoon, whatever you thought I might need. I did so because I wanted this memory for myself of you being my mom. We ate things that two girls watching their diet would never eat, but we were not two girls on a diet. We were two girls on a mission to indulge in french pastries smeared with butter. Fruit, chocolate and sweet tea...Mmm. Later on we hugged and you told me, "Nite-Nite, baby girl, love you" as I thought to myself, don't tell her 'goodbye'. It was to be the last time I saw you, but I have yet to wrap my head around it. Give me a bit of time, when I'm alone in a room and the reality of never hearing your voice or seeing your face sets in. For now, I'll just remember the fun times, our Sunday drives when we would get lost on purpose, you keeping me home from school just to take me to lunch. Stuff like that. Just the good stuff. "Love you googols!"
