This past week was a tough one for me.   Mother's Day, Sam's 26th birthday, and the 2 1/2 year anniversary of his death.   

Unfortunately, we can't reset the clock when we lose a son or daughter.   We can't change the dates or the circumstances, and we can't avoid dealing with difficult reminders such as birthdays, the date of their death, and other celebrations such as Mother's and Father's day.   

In this  episode, I discuss my feelings about the week, my gratitude for Mother's Day,  and how I unconsciously tried to avoid thinking about the things that were bothering me until I was forced to, if only to release this episode.   

Thanks for listening.
