facebook

I have recently been spending a good amount of time on facebook. Looking up past friends and relatives. Just really re- living my past. In doing so, I have had to update people about my Mother's passing in November 2006. And it has opened up so many conversations with these people that I haven't seen in years. People that I knew, but was not friends with in High School, who have also lost their Mothers. We are a sad little group. 20 years ago we had nothing in common other than trying to survive High School. And now I cherish these women and their stories like they are my best girlfriends. It is so easy to start a thread about missing Mom's and have so many people relate to exactly how I feel. Holidays, birthdays, anniversarys are all a bit more meaningful and yet empty. It's not the same as it once was, but we have so much to be thankful for. Thank you to the founders of facebook, for helping me grieve and vent with my fellow Motherless Daughters. Their compassion and understanding has been the best therapy I could have ever asked for.
