i haven't cried since saturday but a lot of little things have made me misty-eyed. like our birthdays are in a month and a half; ever since my parents moved out her and pa's house she gave us phone calls on our birthdays. and for the first time in my life i'm not gonna hear her voice on my birthday

#and im making a shawl for her to be cremated in #but 1) she's the one who taught me fo knit when i was 14/15 and gave me a big dufflebag #of a bunch of her old needles and yarn. i still use them all the time #2) HER birthday was in april and i was already planning on making the shawl as a birthday gift #i even ordered special yarn for it!#3) in my over 10 years of knitting ive only finished like. 3 projects and they were all scarves #and she never got to see them #i hate that she never got to see the fruits of what she taught me #i think she'd be proud. and i hope she enjoys her birthday present #mom said she'd love whatever i made her even if i used the scratchiest acrylic yarn in the ugliest colors #and that's homestly true she'd be so earnestly flattered and overjoyed to receive a handmade gift #especially smth made in a skill she taught me #i just wish she actually got to see it #mickey.txt
