Lesson 1 to teach your child: Nothing is forever. Not your parents. Not even the Universe. Prepare to say goodbye to people, things, everything. Everything “dies”. Transience is the way of all things. Life is much easier when one finally comes to accept this fact.

I lost my mother to cancer the year I became a father. Then our daughter lost her mother the year after she became a mother herself. It took me a good five years to even start to heal from just the former loss–I was too busy!–and I hope it won’t take my daughter as long, since she has cancer herself. At least my granddaughter has some memories of her Nana; our daughter has no memories of my Mom; there’s just a single photo of them together.

Nope, can’t read it. It’s been 15 years and it still feels like yesterday, not a day goes by that I don’t miss her or think about her.
