As I wait for the bus I dig in my bag for something to feed the pigeon who keeps landing near me. its unlike me, not because Im not an animal lover, but because pigeons kind of terrify me...and are always begging for food. so fearless. My mom really liked to feed pigeons. sometimes it drove me crazy but shed save half her sandwich when she was downtown in order to feed it to a pigeon tribe. Then it hits me like a ton of bricks- I forgot all day today. Exactly six months ago my little family gathered around a hospital bed not two months after saying goodbye to our grandma to say goodbye to Mom. It still doesnt feel real and I still want to call her all the time. For how much she bothered me with lots of calls and texts...we were really close. Mom had been really sad since grandma died and I have this mental image of grandma up in Heaven nodding her head; saying welcome home when Mom showed up, a small smile like she knew she was coming. It amazes me how it all played out, my sister was pregnant when my grandma died and I was just five weeks pregnant when Mom died. We miss you down here Mom. Your grandbabies wont know you; but theyll hear all about you. One thing is for sure- Many pigeons have missed meals since youve been gone.
