Mariah Moment

Work has been challenging these past few months and baba has been very busy since May that we haven’t spent much time together. And then last Sunday, my granduncle passed away.  This afternoon, my aunt passed away.  Too much stress has clouded my emotions.

Just earlier tonight, I was ready to do my Mariah stint -- closing the door, sliding myself through the wall with a bottle of wine, sitting dramatically on a bed, thinking deeply through the emotions.  And so I did everything in that order when suddenly – a cockroach landed on my arm.

And my moment was gone.
