If you haven't noticed, I have been absent from this site for awhile. Monday, June 9th at 5:30 my mother died in her sleep. She had a tough last two days and it was difficult to watch. Tuesday night we had the viewing and was able to mourn our loss together with family and friends. Wednesday we buried her beside my father..her husband of 44 years.

I like to think that she went straight to heaven to be reunited with her precious mother and my father. I would like to think she is holding that grandbaby she lost all those years ago. I will tell myself that her body has been renewed and she is healthy again and that her laughter rings throughout the skies.

The funeral service and burial was not as difficult for me as you would think. However, the everyday living without her will be  more than difficult. I made so many phone calls to her daily, I will miss that. I visited her regularly, shopped for her weekly and was so involved in her daily life. My biggest problem will be missing the time and effort that was put into her comfort. Time that I do not regret in the least. I will miss her voice and the comfort she gave me when I was struggling. I will miss her telling me some interesting tidbit about the family and what she heard on the news.
I will miss her stories about her life, her childhood and years of marriage.

My life has been forever altered by this event. My most difficult days are ahead...please pray for me.

peace   :)  shemelts
