Post-Thanksgiving Blues

Ragia's first turkey surpassed all expectations, scoring up there with some of mom's finest attempts. As we were eating some delicious leftovers from yesterday, Ragia turned to me and said: "I remember when Linda would come over to our apartment in Carrboro and make us her delicious barley soup and a huge bowl of salad with orange sections, and we would sit and eat it with some of her delicious homemade bread and tell stories for hours. I miss that very much."

So do I. Barley soup, salad, and bread with mom sounds like heaven. Sometimes I still have trouble accepting that she's gone.
