My Mum's Final Letters

So mum, after sharing all of my life with you, my wonderful mother, this is, practically, it, a couple of months after you died, all over, just a few last bills to post. Someones long and happy life, much loved, much travelled, much admired, this is it, a few white, standard issue envelopes dropped into a standard issue red letter box on some random street, kerplunk, there was an empty sound. It struck me as profoundly sad, and yet just how life is, all at the same time. I stood there on the footpath and people walked passed and I looked at them... and the world kept spinning.
