This is not one of those times.</p> <p>The closer I get to July 14, 2012, the more it feels like this time in 2011. I’m eternally grateful for the memories from this time last year but the pain that accompanies them straight up hurts like hell.</p> <p>May 22, 2011, we were holding our breath that Mom would live through my sister’s birthday, June 1st. She did. We made the best of it, partying like only my aunts know how, despite the elephant we all knew was there.</p> <p>I composed this post, along with about 35 others, while riding on the trail today, but to be honest actually writing it, though normally therapeutic for me, is too painful so I’m done even though the words all seem wrong and there is so much more my heart has to say.</p> <p>This still summarizes how I feel, 10 months + 2 weeks later: <a href="http://sherrierohde.com/post/7646274685/to-the-best-mom-ever">To the Best Mom, Ever</a>.</p>http://sherrierohde.com/post/23638640864http://sherrierohde.com/post/23638640864Wed, 23 May 2012 18:59:28 -0500“Arrogance is ego plus ignorance.”<br/><br/> - <em>Robert Kiyosaki</em>http://sherrierohde.com/post/23626727040http://sherrierohde.com/post/23626727040Wed, 23 May 2012 16:01:38 -0500“Your destiny is never connected to anyone who leaves your life.
