This month is particularly hollow for me. It begins with Labor Day and ends with my birthday...i miss my family when we were a family...before Mom died...when we'd gather for family dinners/cookouts for holidays, birthdays, special events or just for the heck of it...Mom loved having everyone over, it was so important to her and it felt so wonderful to be together ...i really miss the way that feels...she was the glue that held us together (after she passed Dad tried but he's too detached)...and i am sad that things will never be the same and that feeling of closeness, belonging and family seems to be gone forever...
