Five years seems like such a real, long amount of time. I think that the past five years are probably the first set of five years in my life that I can recall with clarity. Maybe because, five years ago today, I realized that nothing in life is really guaranteed.
Five years ago today I held my mom's hand and told her that I was going to be okay, and that everything was going to be okay.
Every day is different, and sometimes I don't think too hard about how the person I'm talking to doesn't even know my mom died, I'm special...
Today, I just miss her.
Five years never felt so, SO fast.
Prayers for you and blessings for your mom. My mother's been gone six years, so I know how you feel.
