My mother passed away on December 10, 2009. I needed a way to help myself work through the grieving process. I knew that just writing an occasional entry in a paper journal wouldn't help me deal w/ the myriad of emotions. I've pledged to write in this blog every day for a year to chronicle what I hope will lead from the pain of mourning to the glory of remembrance.

Monday, 28 June 2010 -- Day 190 (203)
Do you ever turn on the radio or the TV and a song or movie comes on that perfectly reflects your mood? I just finished watching Daisy Clover w/ Natalie Wood and Robert Redford. The movie has a lot of messages, but the one that spoke to me the loudest was getting what you've always wanted, but the price is being forced to do what other people tell you. In other words, you can have your dreams come true, but in the process you lose your Self. I don't really know Mom's dreams, or if in attaining them she lost her Self in the process. Today was one of those days when I lost sight of what I'm working toward. The problem w/ dreams is, what do you do when you achieve them, and once you achieve them is that enough?
