Hey sweetie. Hearing & thinking of you. This month is the 10-year anniversary of my mother's death. I don't miss her like I used to, though now I really, really wish I had a recording of her voice - I can't believe I don't. I've often wished for video, but really that would be even better.

Like no one is watching me, no one whose opinion matters.

That was the worst thing. Actually, when my mom died I felt like no one actually loved me anymore. It was really bad. But I don't feel that way anymore.
