With the anniversary of my mother's death last week, I realized I'm missing knowing about my mother's funeral, her siblings, etc. so I decided to send a letter to a cousin.
I haven't seen or talked to this cousin since we were little, but I thought she might have gone to it, since she lives close to where my mother was buried and also taken her dad, my mother's brother.
I thought she should know that my sister didn't inform me of my mother's death, and with this New Year here, it just felt right to make contact with this cousin. Now, I wait and see if and hopefully, I will hear back from her.
