Dear Mom, This letter is not for you.
Dear Mom, It is because of you that I will be an amazing mom. Not because you were “the best mom ever.” Not because you were an addict, abusive, or mean, but because of your absence, your inability to have the hard conversations, or hear me.

Witnessing and Supporting the Grief of a Grandfather
This previous Sunday, my partner, myself, and about 15 of his family members decided to go to the movies to watch ‘Selena.’ Why? Because, how often do you get to watch ‘Selena’ in theatres since it was first released in 1997? Like, never. His grandmother was supposed to go with us just to get out of the house and get some fresh air, but also because, “anything for Selenas” (I hope you all get the reference). After a difficult night of new health issues arising with her husband, her intuition told her to stay, and it was ultimately a premonition of what was to come. It was in the theatre that a text was sent to the family informing them that “grandpa only has 24 hours to live.” Discussing the news after the movie, we decided as a family to go and be with him.
