The Succulent Planter: A Symbol of Grief

In April 2017, I went to pick my mom up. We were going to hang out for the morning and then go to lunch. This sounds like a normal thing to do with your mom, but for us it was kind of a big deal. My mom and I didn’t just “hang out.” Sure, I visited my folks, they’d visit me, they’d hang out with and/or babysit my kids — but it was rare for Mom and I to hang out socially.
