We were very close. I have gradually, painfully, come to believe that she is truly departed from here, but each year as spring approaches, instead of simply gazing admiringly at the daffodils I regress to a state of wandering semi-shock for a while. It\u2019s become a more complicated season. Beside her Yahrzeit candle today are items of significance: family photographs, a book of poetry, a small felted sheep, a pot of Sweet Williams, an avocado, a potato&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>There are lots drawings of her in my sketchbooks. I made this one on our last Mothers Day together, except I didn\u2019t know it would be the last. We rarely do, do we. She loved to be taken out to restaurants. This evening in a turning of the tables, so to speak, my son took us all out to a restaurant. We took the Yahrzeit candle along.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eachdayisacelebration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Yahrzeit2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1326\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" title=\"Yahrzeit2\" src=\"https:\/\/eachdayisacelebration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Yahrzeit2.png\" alt=\"Yahrzeit2\" width=\"100\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a>Mom<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eachdayisacelebration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/CakeChocCurls2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" title=\"CakeChocCurls2\" src=\"https:\/\/eachdayisacelebration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/CakeChocCurls2.png\" alt=\"CakeChocCurls2\" width=\"125\" height=\"119\" \/><\/a>Monique<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My mother passed away unexpectedly on this day in April, 2006, after complications following gall bladder surgery.
