A Brief Leave of Absence July 30, 2007

Mom passed away on June 4, 2007.  I was by her side.  I’ve got a lot to process, which I’ve begun, but have a long way to go.

I will be back in September – or who knows, maybe earlier.  My house is a sauna, I’ve got a lot to process, and a lot of things to go through.  I’ve just begun going through my apartment and trying to be honest – do I really need this?  Or if it’s mom’s – do I really need this to remember her by?  I haven’t even been to her apartment yet, nor dealt with her ashes.

So much is going on…and Pablo is back in my life.  He was really a great support during the last couple of months of mom’s illness.  I finally got tired of the emails and calls and picked up one call and we started talking.  He was really a life saver for me – I didn’t feel like there were a lot of people I could talk to.  Everyone has their own problems.  Besides, people hear the word cancer and flee.

As far as what’s going on in the world, I feel like I’ve been living in a plastic bubble.  I don’t like feeling disconnected from the world.

So, I shall return.  Any words of wisdom would be appreciated!
