I haven’t watched the Kentucky Derby since Mom died. She watched it every year of her life when she possibly could. When she was younger and healthier, she watched every single racing show throughout the year so she would know who every single horse in the Derby was. She was a fanatical fan of all things horse racing. We could be on a trip across the country and she would make certain she could sit down in the hotel room and watch the Kentucky Derby live. I have not watched the Kentucky Derby since she died. I haven’t been able to. It hurt too much. Well, today is Derby Day. Today it doesn’t hurt too much. So today I’m sitting down with one of Mom’s tumblers and I’m going to watch the Kentucky Derby again.
