The lights are on, but you aren't there...

I went by there Friday night. The lights were on. Lights were on everywhere. On the fence, on the porches, trees inside, trees outside... She wouldn't have liked it. It wasn't "her". It suits the new lady. The look was inviting and warm, but she wasn't there. A moment in the busy rush where I unexpectedly missed her. Time out of the hubbub to just... remember. I love you, Mom.
