I am drinking Sleepy Time peach tea. So in love with it. Just bought my first tea kettle, in my so and I's first apartment. Brewing tea on the stove has been a relaxing end to the days. When I was young my mother would make me sleepy time tea and we'd drink it in bed or watching cartoons. I don't have anywhere else to put this so I'll leave it here:

It's been almost seven years since I last saw my mom. It's unbelievable it's been that long! I still think about her every day, I still wonder "what if", and I still grieve. I wonder what path would my life have taken? What would it feel like to call her or have her call me? Would she be proud of me and how we raised my little brothers after her death? For a long time I thought that I needed to put a time limit on my grief, go through the stages and move on to a peaceful outlook on losing my mother where I could then hand out pieces of sage advice to other orphans about how to get through.

Helpful note : it's just not that easy or clean. Or plan-able.
