Cherry Nutella Scones

I miss her.

It was 20 years yesterday. 20 years since I heard her laugh, since we shared a meal, since I pretended to be embarrassed as she danced without a care in the world. 20 years since I gave her a hug. How could it be? How is it that in those 20 years, I have found love, created life, and now live in a cozy little valley town in California? How is it that my mother does not know this side of me?

Perhaps she does. I’d like to think so. I’d like to think she has been there, watching me, every step of the way.

I miss her more than ever. And in many ways, the idea, the concept, the reality that 20 years have passed is one that my mind can not grasp. It happened in the blink of an eye.

But something else has happened.
