Damn, sorry to hear about that. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I lost my mom in 2020 and even while I was taking care of her for years before her passing, nothing ever prepares you for the loss of a mother.
Like you my mother got me into all things weather related too, from chasing big hail storms in the early 90’s to tornados in the 2010’s.
One thing I’ve noticed is every weather event has had its own unique twist since and maybe it’s just in my head but every time that strike of lightning hits or random burst of wind gusts, all the way to the clouds breaking for a beautiful unexpected sunset… just know she has something to do with it knowing you’re watching.
