Let me be indulgent

So today is my Moms' birthday. She would have been 66. She passed when I was 22 and she was 48. I reached for the phone to call my grams as I do every time it is Moms' birthday and realized she wasn't there.

Do you remember that skit on Sesame Street where this little black girls mom asks her to go to the grocery store and says, "get a loaf of bread, a jug of milk and a stick of butter". The little girl repeats it all the way to the store. A loaf of bread, a jug of milk and a stick of butter. Today I am a stick of butter.
