The year that my mom died was pivotal for me. Most people think of me as an extrovert (tbh, I would have said the same many years ago), but I desperately need time to myself to just BE. I wanted to live alongside my mom as the witness to her, the life of every party. I loved that I laughed as loud as she did with every muscle in my face participating in the feat. My faith was as robust as our laughter . . . was. And then there was cancer. And then my family fell apart. And then my workplace was completely upended by a nightmarish level of toxicity. Joy was replaced with survival for many years.
Sure, there were fleeting moments of excitement, celebration, happiness, peace but in the greater scheme, every moment was a fight that ate at the parts of me that missed all I thought I had.
