While I appreciate that it comes from a place of genuine kindness, I really wish people would stop messaging me about my Mom today.
Today I miss her so much it hurts and I just can't.
Grief is like an open wound and those messages are like salt.

I find it weird that newspapers characterize students as being “pro-Palestinian” as opposed to anti whatever you call this.

Something is wrong with Pierre Poilievere. Not just politically but physically. He showed up looking just smashed on the side of the highway in the Maritimes. He's pale, disheveled, and doughy. He's either sick or drinking way too much. 😬

"I’m a Jew who’s been afraid at Palestine protests.
Then, I learned more. I learned that I didn’t know what people were chanting. I learned there was a lot to unlearn.
Then I decided I don’t want my identity used to shield a genocidal apartheid state."

Being afraid does not mean you're under attack
On those condemning anti-genocide protests, but not genocide

I'm currently reading a novel written by a good friend. It's so fun to read a line and "hear" her voice and personality. 😊
I'm so stinking proud of her

I certainly didn't expect to start the day with an emergency alert that there was an armed man in the vicinity of my kids' school. I was low key terrified when they sent out notice that they were putting the school in lockdown. 1/2

I returned to the office today to discover my company made a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society in my Mom's memory ❤

Ran a few errands today with Little Big. It was nice to do something "normal" after a decidedly abnormal 2 weeks.

My Mom had asked for this to be read at her funeral service today.
It's so on point it's like it was written about her.

My ex from 24 years ago showed up at the funeral home this evening. It was a lovely, if weird, surprise.
He also told my husband that I was "the one that got away" which was also kind of weird if oddly flattering lol

My Dad says he keeps waking up and panicking because he thinks for a moment Mom just fell out of bed.
He's always been so strong and it breaks my heart to see him so lost and in pain.

My 87-year old Mum just had to pay $3,000 to retain a private doctor for another year because of the doctor shortage, and I'm furious. She has a right to a doctor in this country. She pays her goddamned taxes. The government owes her that money.

Going through photos of my mom has been cathartic. She's been so sick the last 3 1/2 years, that it was easy to forget the wonderful, vivacious person she had been before. ❤
