Dear Mother,
You’ve been gone almost a year. Not a day passes that I don’t think of you and wish we could still have a cup of coffee in the afternoon. You enjoyed that even in your last days when you seemed unable to enjoy much else.
I visited your grave on Mother’s Day a few weeks ago. I sat on one of the Everidge benches, beside a big stone angel, and ate a Subway sandwich while the wind swirled fallen leaves around all the elegant headstones. Yours is pretty and reflects the sky, so it never looks exactly the same. Some part of me will always be standing there, watching them lower your coffin into the ground and thinking, this is a day I never wanted to arrive. I know you were 95 and life had nothing left to offer you, but still, I wish I could hug your frail little body once more, and tuck a strand of your white hair behind your ear, or clean your glasses. Or find your glasses! Remember how you used to leave them in the shower all the time, and I had to go hunt them down? I keep your glasses in a box along with the jewelry you wore most often. There’s something about the glasses—it always seems as if you might come back to fetch them.
We all miss you. Linda doesn’t like to think of you buried out there in the cemetery, but I remember how often you told me that you wanted to be buried in Brady alongside your mother and father. Weird to think that years ago, when we visited there, you and I walked right over the ground that would become your grave.
My walls are covered in your beautiful paintings, Mom, and though they can make me feel a little sad at times, they are mostly a source of happiness. I was forever proud of all your artistic talents. Sometimes I see scenes or objects that I know you would’ve put into a painting, and I smile because I know then how much of who you were also flows through me. I love you, Mother. I’m growing kind of old myself, but I’m still your “little girl.”
