You can't always get what you want

Tonight marks ten years to the day since Mom suddenly, unexpectedly died.

I wonder what would be different if that night hadn't happened. What would be the same?

It seems so hard to believe that it's already been ten years since that terrible night. And it seems so very, very long ago.

It's now been almost 1/3 of my life since Mom died. It's been over half of my youngest brother's life.

My Aunt Jane (Mom's sister) emailed me to say that she was going to light a candle and go sit outside tonight. I think I'll go do the same.
