I feel this. I don't miss her, but I miss the idea of her. I miss an idealized version that stayed in my life and watched her grand-daughter grow up and maybe had a relationship with her where she kept her 'wisdom' to herself and focused on what was important. Unfortunately, we can't choose our relatives. Found family is better for the soul, if you ask me. 🥰 -

So, yeah… I know this song is about a mother who has passed, and while mine is still kicking out of spite and hatred (I expect, I don’t actually know) and I don’t have any kind of relationship with her, it speaks to me in terms of how I felt realising I didn’t miss her, but I missed the idea of her.
Sometimes you have to grieve and move on, because even when the person is still here, they’re gone.
To all who understand this, I see you. 💛
