Out of the Blue

I hate the fact that I can't forget today is the anniversary of my mom's death, since I prefer to focus on the wonderful totality of her life, rather than the sad moment it ended. And this year the occasion comes with an additional strange realization. My mom was 20 when she had me, and she died 21 years ago today. So, recalling a Tommy Lee Jones monologue from No Country for Old Men, I am now older than she ever got to be. Just a little added heaviness for me on what was already a heavy day.

Heavy Round-up
Thanks Ant, Neutronbeam, and Max.
