Just did a Google Maps search for something else when some perverse imp moved me to look up my late mother's address and do a Street View. Seeing the street moved me to experience a profound feeling of loss. It is also, possibly, the fact that this will be my first Christmas without her, and the sadness of her life this past decade. Whatever it is, it's moving around in my chest, this great feeling of loss and regret.
I miss my mom.
