May 9: Mother's Day Shopping

It's going to be a heck of a weekend for my mother.  Mother's Day followed by the funeral of her son.  I don't think there's a greeting card for that occasion.  I'll probably end up buying something stupid.  Chocolate.  Carnations.  Whatever.

The next three days are simply a prelude to Monday evening.  There's no moving on or healing until then.  Right now, it's all shock and grief and sadness.

Saint Marty can't erase the last few days, no matter how hard he tries.

Nope.  Doesn't work this year.
