Love this, Becky, and so sorry for the loss of your mom. Grief is such a strange journey--similar in many ways to everyone else who's ever grieved but also uniquely different. Thinking of you as you continue on the path of healing.
Also, I had to share that my favorite number is five--I'm not sure why, I just like the way it looks and it seems to pop up a lot for me. I don't put any value in it, but I thought it was cool that it was woven throughout this post.
Happy to have found you here on Substack. Like you, I'm a serial blogger. If I'd stuck with one topic/theme, I'd probably have thousands of posts by now!
Thank you J.P., and welcome to this little corner of the interwebs! Seems like we have some common threads in our journey, so great connecting with you here.
I loved this post. First, I'm truly sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how difficult it's been, but I'm glad you got to get away for Mother's day and hope it was beautiful.
I mostly always write without a plan. I mean, I have loose topics always floating around and I take notes about ideas throughout the week, but 98% of the time, I sit down not having any idea the direction my post is going to take until i start typing. It's a weird thing, I think, but it feels sort of freeing in a way and somehow, I think, we find ourselves coming back to the same themes in our writing.
Thank you so much, Danielle. So glad this post resonated with you. Mother's Day was beautiful in precious ways that I'll treasure for years to come. And the more I ponder on it, the more I'm thinking that I need to write with less of a plan and more of just seeing what direction each post will take when I sit at my laptop. It's definitely been freeing for me too! On a total side note, how cool that we were reading each other's posts at the same time. I literally just "liked" your most recent post as this comment came in.
Thanks, Becky, for sharing this. I actually decided this year that 5 is my favorite number. I’ve never had one before. Blessings and peace as you grieve the recent loss of your mother. It’s hard. I’m glad you’ve found some ways to go forward and also receive God’s care. Thanks for the 5s.
