Today marks a year since my mom drew her last breathe. A lot have changed; work, life, the world at large.
Drawn over us, like a smelly wet blanket, is of course the pandemic, COVID-19 and all it’s drawbacks it brings. Apart from a high death toll being the biggest, of course the social isolation.
Corona-times for me marks the first time that I’m living on my own. It’s also longest time I’ve been alone, since up until my mom’s passing I lived under her guarding roof.
In combination with the virus, I’ve never felt so alone and isolated before.
Back to mom.
As a remembrance thing, when I visited her gravestone, I brought with me her all time favorite candy, “Gott & Blandat” (making sure to remove the pieces she did not particularly enjoy) and a bottle of Sprite.
There’s also a curated playlist I set up with some of her favorite songs available on Spotify. Have a go at it:

Stay strong, stay safe!
