Jess My... Question of the Week™ Blog Series
September 3, 2016

Courtesy of Writer's Digest who sent me a neat little book called "Question of The Day," Here is: "Jess My... Question of the Week™."
This week's question is:
"What place or activity always makes you think of a certain person?"
(page 179 in the book, "Question of the Day" by: Writer's Digest)
Every second week of August is when the Perseid Meteor Showers can be viewed. I grew up in a rural area, so my mother is actually the person who first showed me these magnificent shooting stars. The first time we viewed them when I was fourteen years old, and as it turns out, we've made it a yearly event ever since then.
August of 2015 was the last year I would get to enjoy this event with my mother. She passed away in September of 2015. I treasure the fact that we had one last viewing of the shooting stars before she died.
This year (2016), we had thunderstorms everyday that the event took place. I was so bummed out and did not get to see even one shooting star. Perhaps it wasn't meant to be, after all, it was something that I had done with my mom for twenty-five years.
But this is an event that will always remind me of my mother, and one that I will turn into a tradition that I will pass on to my own kids and grandchildren.
