Moon over Florence.

This photo was taken the last time I visited my mother when she was not only alive but aware. In this picuture I was being dropped off at the airport- while you may not see it in this photo-( I have a couple others that show the true worry on my mothers face...), she was worried and afraid she would die. She passed away less than 3 weeks after this photo was taken. Mother's Day is coming up and I am reminded not only by weight of my heart and loss each day, but by the heart "mom" tattoo on my arm which many new folks draw attention to and remind me of. I've become somewhat used to the symbol of loss on my body until recently as it's constently pointed out. When asked, I explain that it is a statement of my love for my mother who has passed. I love and miss you mom- each and everyday. Happy Mother's Day to you- I'm trying to be the kind considerate person you raised me to be. Thank you for all your love and support.
