Full Moon for Mom/August 20, 2013


Tonight will be a Full Moon. I think it only appropriate since my mother, today a year ago, died peacefully in the early morning hours. A full year will pass under the light of a Full Moon.

My mother was very spiritual. She loved Celtic stuff and I think she would have loved that the Moon would be in full mode for her tonight. I hope the sky will be clear so I can walk outside and see it and think of her.

I wish I could be standing beside her at Oakwood Cemetery at midnight tonight because "the full moon reaches its highest elevation" at that time.

Mom also loved Stonehenge. She said that when she went there and was able to stand within the stones (before the time that the fence was built around it) that she had a spiritual experience. I wish I had been with her to feel it too. We could have held hands and then looked at each other and said, "Did you feel that?" and maybe a shiver would run down our spines.

Maybe at that moment she would have squeezed my hand three times ( I Love You) and I would have smiled and squeezed her hand back two times (How Much?) and then she would squeeze long and hard and I would know how much she loved me.

I am squeezing your hand all day today mom.

Squeeze, squeeze squeeze
Squeeze squeeze
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze.
Forever.
