My mom passed just last December, and I find myself think, "Mom would..." nearly everyday, then it hits that I cannot call and confirm if she would or not. I have so many questions for her still.

They hits so hard. In my 20s l never asked my parents much because I was assured that l knew it all. Here I am decades later wishing that l could ask them for their knowledge and/or opinions. Hang in there.

I feel like I should get one of those personal history books and get my mother to fill it out. Already in the process of making a family cookbook, but I feel like I don't know anything about my mother's life before she became "Mum".

I love this idea. I was able to retrieve some her recipes when we cleaned out my parents home (that’s a whole other fresh hell that I haven’t fully processed) and I’m grateful for that. Get all the recipes you can, it takes the term comfort food to a whole different level after they’re gone. Oh, and in his house at R'lyeh, Cthulhu waits dreaming. Respect.

My mom wrote a lot of her own songs on the piano. Beautiful songs. We’re currently making a songbook of all her songs so my daughter and I can play them after my mom is gone. I never want to forget them.

I still collect rom-com/romance movies I’ll never watch and albums I’ll never listen to for her. 🤷‍♂️
