I've tried to write this post a couple times this week to explain my absence. I keep typing things out and they just haven't felt right so I hit "cancel" and go on. I've decided that there's no good way to say it, no right way to say it, I have to just say it.
This (clicky edited out) is the article that ran front page above the fold of my hometown paper. It's about my mother, and the motorcycle accident that killed her last Saturday. There's a typo in the paper, her maiden name starts with a P, not a C, but otherwise the facts are accurate as best I can tell.
My family and I are heartbroken beyond belief. This is not a feeling that can be explained. I'm not looking for attention, please don't feel like you have to say anything or respond, I just feel like I need to explain that I'm going through a lot. And it sucks.
