I remember my father’s hand cutting through the wispy trails in a casino restaurant, back in the day when you could smoke in a restaurant.

    The earliest death I can remember was the death of my mother’s uncle. I was about ten years old and what I remember most about it was that my mother (who drove us to school every morning) said a prayer for starting the car. This was rare because we are not a religious family at all but on that day she prayed and I remember being very sad that she was sad. I don’t remember the visitation, the funeral, or anything of that nature but I just remember how sad my mother was.

    Waking up to the news that your mother died on a Tuesday morning isn’t exactly what I’d call “normal.” By then, I had already accepted the fact she was going to die. We all did.
