I have such a hole now that mom is gone. The day that hubby and I went to make funeral arrangements, my friend Gloria was at the house, fixing spaghetti and doing whatever needed to be done. When we got home, I saw her car and immediately thought "oh Gloria is here watching mom while we were out". I expected to see mom siting at the kitchen table in her mint green robe as always, waiting for me to come home.
At the service Friday night, I was busy visiting and greeting our guests at the funeral. All of a sudden thought, "I need to go check on mom, be right back".
So sad, I am going to miss her so very much, no matter what shape she was in, she was my mom, my role model for the perfect mother, grandmother, wife and friend. She was perfect!
Youngest daughter and I were just saying how strange to go to bed without shutting the middle door, no childproof doorknob covers, no worrying about noise that might wake grandma up, no worries, lots of sadness.
My friend Gloria and I met with the pastor Wednesday afternoon. I didn't know her, Gloria did. Although husband and I were married at the church, we have not attended in 10 years. We tried the pastor that married us and the other pastor that we knew first. They were not available, so we had the offer of the Associate Pastor. What a treasure we found!!!!!
Gloria and I told Anna tales of mom, her nicknames, how she got along with husband and just many many little insights to who mom was.
The night of the memorial service Anna arrived and I introduced her to Keith, Amanda, Katie, Eddie, Charon, Christy,
