There are not enough words to share feelings of loss. I miss my mom every day. I miss her mischievous smile. Her eclectic jewelry collection. Her massive shoe collection. Her colorful wardrobe. I miss her advice (that I didn't always listen to.) I miss her little note pads around the house from all the shiurim she attended. I miss her motivational Miriam Adahan quotes that were taped up in

I miss seeing her Dunkin Donuts iced-coffee cup in the garbage. I miss her Musk perfume. I miss hearing her blow drying her hair every night. I miss her driving my carpool. I miss our Ross trips. I miss seeing her hearing-aid batteries all around the house. I miss seeing her put the vacuum in the living room to remind someone to vacuum daily. I miss hearing her childhood stories. I miss her hugs. I miss her washing my hair in the haircutting sink when I had hives or didn’t feel well. I miss her playing with my hair. I miss her witty comments about life and people. I miss her acceptance of the hard times. And her excitement of the good times. Most importantly I miss seeing her every day. Of knowing she would be there tomorrow. I miss my mom. My mom was a spunky soul, who deeply loved her family, her friends, and shul. She was a true example of "ohev shalom verodef shalom." I guess the way I can handle the loss is by doing something good in her memory. Raising money for Jewish Caring Network is a way my siblings and I can give back to an organization that held us together for so many years.
