I havent been in the box since my birth mom died in May 2010. I open the box and find books and music I dont recall then realize these are some of her things I collected when we emptied her home. There is a book of affirmations with a letter sticking out of it. Its the one I wrote her on New Years Eve just before leaving the next day. We had spent out first and only Christmas and New Year together. It would be the last time I saw alive. The letter reads in part: New Years Eve signifies both a beginning and an end and so its is with heavy heart that I again part from you. Each visit is bittersweet as I recall those first moments I set eyes on you, felt your arms wrapped around me and hard your soothing voice whispering that it was okay. I will never forget that moment. Truly, I havent. The letter, of course, ours tucked inside the book alongside my favorite quote from Rilke.
