A month ago, I lost my mom to cancer. In the span of one year, I lost both of my parents. I left home when I was 14, and for the last 11 years, there wasn’t a single day when my mom didn’t call me. Now whole days pass in complete silence. I still catch myself expecting her call, and then I remember it will never come. I don’t know how to put that loneliness into words. View quoted note →
