An Unwanted Personal Memory......

I’m active on Facebook......apparently that means technology has passed me by. I don’t tweet, or snapchat or whatever. I’m a Facebook dinosaur.

So, when I check my account in the morning, there is a private memory page that only I will see....unless I decide to share. I hated today’s memory page. As I skimmed down through the pictures and posts I came to one from this specific date back in 2016. It was my blog post titled “A Drip of Hope.....” and it was about spending the day with someone I loved as she spent the day getting her chemo treatment. Re-reading the first few words brought the whole day right back into focus.....the drive to the hospital, the physical space of her little treatment room, the kind nurses and staff, our conversation and laughter, zipping out to pick up lunch for both of us. The whole damn day.

And tears come automatically......and once again that bandaid is ripped off my heart. Claudia I miss you.
