Back in 2005, we had a complete remodel of the kitchen in our house in Jackman. I remember after the cabinets were installed being so excited to wash them and have fun playing and deciding what to put where. I came home from work the day the contractors had left and discovering that my Mom had done everything. Washed everything. Put all my stuff away. Decorated. She had even cooked dinner in MY new kitchen. I was devastated. I felt like a deflated balloon. But my Mom was so proud of what she had done for me. You could see the smile in her eyes and she showed me around my new kitchen. I never said a thing to her, I silently cried in the shower at my disappointment. Now here it is 2014 and the kitchen in our Skowhegan house is being completely remodeled. As I watch the contractors install the cabinets, I yearn for my Mom. What I wouldnt give to have her with me. To clean. To organize. To decorate. I imagine I will cry in the shower again. But this time it is not out of disappointment, but love. The bond and love that my Mom and I had for each other was incredible. It is amazing how much difference a few years and a loss can have on your perspective.
