my dad and i are coming to the anniversary of my mom's death. i am writing a "thank-you/tribute" that i'll be sending out, if i can get past the wordiness of it. i find that i can edit down and edit down and it's STILL longer than i wish it to be. i make every word fight for its life in a lot of stuff i write. and especially about my mom. my mother loved good writing - concise, spare, terse. she never read any of MY writing, though. would she think i was too "out there" with my heart? that would have been too sloppy for her - say it and move on. say it with less words and move on.
mom, i am trying, i truly am.
xx, christine
