This Is Me Maria

Motherless sounds so… empty. As much as I appreciate Hope Edelman’s books the first of which I discovered shortly after my own mother died, I really dislike the word motherless.

I’m reading Motherless Mothers and while I am compelled to keep reading, I also have the urge to hurl the book across the room. I totally would except its an eBook on my iPhone. That would be ugly.

There is a good argument for real paper books, you can hurl them across the room and in most cases the book will still be intact so that you can resume reading once you have calmed down.

I don’t really have anything to say except its hard for me to grasp the tiny phone in my hand when I really just want to hurl it at the orange wall across the room.
