Today's entry may be a somber one, but while we celebrate the women we have in our lives today, I also celebrated the women I lost in my life. At this local cemetery, my grandma, my godmother, and my aunt are buried. I have a ritual I do all the time I go down to visit. I paint my grandma's grave and I sing to her and my aunt, who is next to her. I also took advantage of my trip down there to sing to my Munchkin and my other aunt. I missed my uncle, but I still have a hard time finding his grave.
While I reflected, the cemetery became packed with people. Along with my singing, there was a man with a trumpet going from family grave to family grave playing "Over the Rainbow" and a few people took their radios and started playing "Las Mañanitas." I left my flowers, sang my songs, left behind my tears, and left.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in the world with us today and to those we have lost. Happy Mother's Day, mommy!
