i miss my mom

between taking care of isaac and various household things (although i'm not really good at the latter), i've not had much time to think about mommy. so when it hits, it hits hard. yesterday, after hanging out with a childhood friend, i started thinking about my life and how its so different than i would have imagined it to be. am i doing all that i can with what i have or am i "wasting my talents" so to speak? i have been hankering to write for a while, but for some reason, i've been apprehensive. maybe it just feels too daunting a task to write about my mom. she's lived such a full and amazing life that i feel like my abilities are not adequate to capture all of who she is. a friend of mine challenged me today to just write my thoughts of her... my memories, etc., instead of trying to be so "clinical" as to try to recreate or chronicle her life. so i thought starting this blog might help. either i will contribute or adler will. hopefully by writing about our mom, we can keep her memories alive.
