We had lunch downtown with my mother and brother.
It’s coming onto a year since Dad died, and Mom’s been stressed this week since a lot of the activities she’s been doing to keep busy have gone on hiatus for the summer. They’d been married for over fifty years, so apart from grief she’s also dealing with the unfamiliarity of the situation. She said a couple of times that it was like being reset to 1968, except she’s not in her twenties.
She gave me a black wool beret that Dad had had for years (I’d painted a portrait of him wearing it). I’m pleased, not just for sentimental reasons but because a proper beret is always good to have.
