Mom too

[Tom Dunlap]

Thanks so much for the kind thoughts and words

I’ve shared them with my family.

We’re having an open house for her on Sunday.

My sis and brother put this video together for her

I’m sure many of the scenes are universal. Faces are different

For my Mom Beatrice

Wonderful Tom, thanks for sharing.

Very nice to have such a record.
Both my parents have gone in the last 14 or so years, both a decent age, largely painless and with dignty.

One thing that happens to me is that occasionally (less often these days) is that sometimes in a dream they are there, not ‘appearing’ in a dramatic sense, just part of it.

You are just in the old house, and Dad is there, and you’re chatting in the kitchen for a bit, and for a little while he is here, he exists again in your universe, then it fades and you wake slowly and the réalisation dawns that he’s dead and your loss is real, because for you, it’s like he’s died again.
Then you’re sort of sad and melancholy all day.
That’s today.
