I often think of you. I\u2019m sure I\u2019m like many women<\/p>\n
who\u2019ve lost their moms — wish we could have<\/p>\n
one last talk. There\u2019s so much I want to run by you \u2013<\/p>\n
your thoughts on Trump and what he\u2019s done<\/p>\n
to your GOP, how I could always see how smart<\/p>\n
you were, you would have excelled in anything<\/p>\n
you wanted to study at college, your one regret<\/p>\n
not going, losing Matt by his own hand.<\/p>\n
For other<\/p>\n
deeper things, I know how you think<\/p>\n
and what you\u2019d tell me. It\u2019s the things<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve come to see since you died<\/p>\n
that I wish for one last chat. I don\u2019t want<\/p>\n
to become a story you forget. I hope<\/p>\n
you think of me too, that the afterlife<\/p>\n
is all that you\u2019d hoped, even if it\u2019s<\/p>\n
different than what you were told.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d love to sit by you holding our similar hands<\/p>\n
one more time, our fingers laced and strong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
