Next of Kin

I get this question a lot these days- how is your mother doing? Where is the "easy" button when you need one? The truth is, its never been an easy relationship between my mother and I, for either one of us. And with Dad gone, I am fully awakening to just how much he was a buffer for us. So we are both navigating the edges of this new landscape together, her and I. It's still not easy, but as much as I am finding my way, I can't lose sight of the fact that she is too.

So this is me trying.  I'm reaching, beyond the usual "Westra World" confines and blogging on my old resurrected blog.  Since my outlet is writing, I decided to share a bit of honesty about this journey.  For today, feel free to join me HERE.
