Bittersweet flight to Ottawa
This is a tough one. My mother passed away on September 28, 2021, unexpectedly. It’s taken me a long time to come to terms with that – I’m still processing it and have my moments where it hits me hard. I never did get to take her up for a flight, although on my last trip there – just 10 days earlier – she balked at the last minute and said she’d “come up with me next time”. That next time will never come, but at least I got to see her for a good long trip right at the end. I miss you, mom.
