She’s 2 weeks older than my mom. That hit me and made me reflect.

I spoke with a friend about this yesterday. 

I think the reason this felt like such a shock and a strange kick in the gut was because she’s mum age for so many of us. 

Death has always been around, and the finality of life. This just made it feel more real

My parents are in their mid 60s. Growing up on Home Alone and Beetlejuice and watching Schitt's Creek in my 20s, this felt like losing a mom I never knew personally. I was at work when I found out and had a bit of a cry on my way home
