The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. - Helen Keller

Today would have been Donna McCabe’s (aka Mommy’s, aka Mom’s) 85th birthday. She married my dad after dating for three months. I came along nine months later (I didn’t the math). She had what was once described as an “expansive life”, beginning in Kentucky and going on to enthusiastically travel the world (she had her own travel agency), raising a gorgeous son, and always learning. She was extremely proud of the work she did with , opening doors for international and intercultural exchanges, particularly focusing on high school students in smaller, rural communities that may never have met teens from other countries or who maybe never had an opportunity to go abroad.
She did all of this while living with an ileostomy due to the loss of her large intestine while she was in her late twenties. Still, some of her final words to me, besides, “Well sh*t”, were, “But there’s still so much I want to do”.
For better and for worse, she’s the voice inside my head, telling me to be my best, to take chances in life, and always letting me know she loves me.

At last, at last, at last… What you’ve been waiting for maybe your entire empty lives… Pictures of me.
Asleep.
