Mom

 I can’t stand the thought of her dear body being cremated. But I can’t stand the thought of her being embalmed either. I can’t Stan it either way.  I think the cremation has already been done by now. After all, she died June 6th. I just want her to be here to talk to me… To look at me. 

Her dear friend and aid told me, "You have your mother’s heart."  I hope she’s right. I am not the person she was but maybe I can "fake it," because I think she faked it sometimes too.  That’s one of the things that made her so amazing.
