Hi … I'm Maxi, a retiree with an addiction. I have quit: raising kids, cleaning house, cooking, doing laundry—there is no end the list—everything is done on "have to." The addiction? Writing to my last breath.

As the teddy bears got old , mother threw them away. I still hate her for it. I was only child. They were so much a part of my world and life. She never could understand how cruel this was. It was like my feelings and personhood had no value, that child’s grief could be dismissed. What was I supposed to learn ? Not to get attached to things? That life is full of losses? . Nothing lasts forever?
This post triggered these thoughts. No wonder I became a pessimistic cynical alcoholic. And this is Mothers Day. Mother passed on 2012 but Mothers Day has always been such an uncomfortable time for me.
Happy Mothers Day to you Maxi and God’s blessing to you, your daughter and granddaughter.
Your story touches me personally, Carl. Painful childhood memories dwell within our hearts forever. Hopefully, Father’s Day will be a happy day for you and dad.

May Your Glass Always Be Half Full

That is kind of sad. I hope he finds his way home. I still have my teddies from when I was a little girl. They go with me everywhere I live. xo

You think of your teddies; someone else may think of the one that ran off and left them.
