Walk around my Brooklyn neighborhood on a hot and sticky July afternoon in search of a floor fan.

I was in no mood for any of it.<\/p>\n<p>In truth, it was far more than the scorching sun that had me upset. <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/family\/a-love-filled-moment-at-the-anniversary-of-a-death\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The one-year anniversary of my mother\u2019s death<\/a> was approaching, and I didn\u2019t know how I was going to handle it. She\u2019d died suddenly, after a late-stage cancer diagnosis. There\u2019d been no time to prepare myself, if that was even possible, and over the past year I\u2019d only begun to take in the reality that I\u2019d never feel her close again.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_102220\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-102220\" style=\"width: 317px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"longdesc-return-102220\" class=\" wp-image-102220\" tabindex=\"-1\" src=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/christmas_sweater_july_embed.jpg\" alt=\"Celeste and her mom, Judy; Photo Courtesy Celeste McCauley\" width=\"317\" height=\"380\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles?longdesc=102220&amp;referrer=101527\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-102220\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Celeste and her mom, Judy; Photo Courtesy Celeste McCauley<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>She\u2019d visited me often from Pennsylvania, always emerging from the bus in a colorful outfit, accessorized to the hilt, ready to see the latest Broadway play or try the newest Italian place in Brooklyn. We never missed the lit-up <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/finding-life-purpose\/the-man-who-picks-out-the-rockefeller-center-tree\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christmas tree at New York City\u2019s Rockefeller Center<\/a>. She\u2019d be in one of her many Christmas sweaters, raring to go, suggesting that I add an extra layer against the cold, or demanding \u201cat least a warm hat, Celeste!\u201d before we left the apartment, just like she did when I went out to play in the snow as a kid.<\/p>\n<p>I passed the last caf\u00e9 we\u2019d sat in together. <em>She\u2019d surely ask me if <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/living-longer-living-better\/why-wearing-sunscreen-is-important-year-round\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I\u2019d applied sunscreen<\/a> before going out today.<\/em> I could almost hear her questioning me.<\/p>\n<p>I walked by a row of brick walk-ups and noticed a sweater neatly draped over the gate out front, a signal that the gently used item was there for the taking. I wasn\u2019t sure who else would look twice at a Christmas sweater on such a day. But I did, knowing Mom would have gotten a chuckle out of the bells and gift boxes that put it over the top even for her. Underneath the sweater, leaning against the gate, was a <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/entertainment\/travel\/tv-is-touched-by-an-angel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Touched by an Angel<\/em><\/a> DVD. Roma Downey and Della Reese\u2019s classic was one of Mom\u2019s favorites. Was an angel trying to tell me something?<\/p>\n<p>I reached the corner, and out of nowhere a woman called out to me. \u201cWhere\u2019s your hat?\u201d she asked. She was in her seventies, impeccably dressed, with a jaunty straw hat to match her outfit. As she approached, I admired her earring and necklace set. A perfect summer ensemble. Like one Mom would have worn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere\u2019s your hat, young lady?\u201d the woman asked again. \u201cThat sun demands a hat!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Martha introduced herself and we exchanged pleasantries. She said she lived nearby. I didn\u2019t mention my broken air conditioning, my hunt for a fan. Or that she was yet another <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/true-stories-of-answered-prayer\/guideposts-classics-ruth-hussey-on-answered-prayer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">answer to my prayer<\/a> to feel Mom close.
