Yes.. I have memories in my pocket, although most are old and worn… But I pull them out from time to time just the same. Ma was a very special person in my life and will always be. She was amazing.
And yes – life is like an onion and sometimes you cry. At the same time realizing that the layer that has been worn away will never return.
I believe the only one who is happy about this is the Ol’ Man, and perhaps Ma herself. I’m certain living without him was hardest on her...
