Happy/Sad Mother's Day

Well, it was Mother's day yesterday and I have to say I had an extra nice time. My mom was here and we all went to Bubby's for brunch. Miraculously we were seated right next to the play area so I didn't have to move an inch to monitor Sam and Hank's circuitous travels from the toys to the food. And during the day I actually got enough time to myself to give the crossword a real go plus I took a walk around Prospect Park.

But all day I was also feeling very, very sad for a friend who lost her son last year. This will be her first Mother's Day without him and I can't even begin to imagine how terrible that will be. In light of this and with Sam's recent appendix scare, I feel subdued, scared, and precariously lucky.

I was also thinking of a different friend who lost her son. It just... I don't even know what to say.

Have you heard from her or spoken to her at all?
