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, 30 August 2010 -- Day 253 (266)
In 100 days Mom will have been gone a year. I talked about her in an impromptu speech that I modeled for my students today. I was a little uncertain after first bringing her up as to whether or not I could make it through. A student gave me the quote from Joe Dirt, "Life's a garden, dig it." I brought up how I shared a love of gardening w/ Mom, and I did choke up a little when I mentioned how I thought that the reason my mum came back was b/c of her. I would consider this progress; I just don't know what I'm progressing toward.
