I'm still here

Your mom randomly came into my head while browsing Facebook. I don't know why. It made me wonder and it made me sad. I thought I was over the sadness of your absence but I guess it creeps in in unexpected moments sometimes. Part of me doesn't understand it; part of me does. I contemplated reaching out to her in a moment of emotion but thought better. You will reach out if you're ever ready. And if you don't, then I'll accept that too, as I have. You were the only one who understood and accepted me just as I am. I hope you know I do the same for you.
