HAWMC Day 8 – The Best Conversation
Today’s Challenge is to write about the best conversation you had last week. Some of you may know that my mom passed away unexpectedly almost two years ago and I’ve been in deep grief ever since, trying to understand how to have a relationship with someone who is no longer here. It’s not something I know how to do and I’m rather envious of family members who say that they can feel my mom’s presence. I don’t and wish I could.
And then I stumbled a cross a quote that so reminded me of my mom as she used to say this to me often. It seems like since finding that I’ve begun to learn, see, and feel reminders of my mom everywhere. This is all at once so sad for me, as I miss her, and also reaffirming. So the best conversation I had last week was with my mom. I actually posted it on Facebook too.
Mom to me – ” Meggie, why are you always pushing and chasing and pursuing?”
Me – “Because my biggest fear in life is that I won’t fulfill my potential.”
Mom -”How will you know when you have?”
Me – “I don’t know, but I’m not there.”
Mom – ” You are who and what and where you are supposed to be.”
Me – “I miss you mom.
