A sweet, sad, funny thing happened on the way to oblivion…
I was helping my mom with something on her phone today and for some reason she showed me a text she sent to my late wife “Happy Easter in Heaven, Molly”. My wife passed away August 15, 2024 and the text was from this Easter. I had to tell my mom that Molly’s number had been recycled, this also wasn’t the first holiday she had done it for either. I thought of the person getting these texts and thankfully just reading and deleting them, not being nasty or anything.
Then I thought of my mom, missing my wife so much that she felt the need to text her and tell her Happy Easter, Merry Christmas and it made me feel horribly sad. It’s easy to get wrapped up in my own shit when I’m having a heavy day and I miss my Molly but when our people leave us they don’t just leave us, there are others who love them and miss them who hurt just like we do.
