Impact: not saying I love you, too

Today would have been my parent’s wedding anniversary. This seems like the perfect day to think about my mother who passed away in 2019 shortly after I had my stroke. She and my father had just moved back to RI where I live before I had the planned rotator cuff surgery. I had been planning to fly down with my sister but they decided to come early. I didn’t see my parents before the surgery and then it was too late to say I love you. On Mother’s Day I had the stroke which left me without words. My mother passed away on June 28; this was before I could say sentences and certainly before I could utter the words, I love you, too.
