Closing the chapter

My mother’s funeral was today. And with it all said and done, I can’t help feeling a bit guilty I didn’t cry more. Maybe it was because I had been prepared for this day when my mom told me her cancer was terminal. Maybe I was all cried out. Maybe it hasn’t really hit me yet. I wish I could say for sure.

All I know for certain is that another chapter of my life has just ended. I will never get to see my mother in the flesh again. All I have are photographs, memories, and my sister to remind me. I know I’ll see her again one day, hopefully after a full and happy life, but I will see her again.

Tomorrow I can start worrying about how we’re going to survive day to day….
