CELEBRATION OF LIFE
Today is the day we gather to celebrate my mom's life. People have flown in from many different parts of the country to share stories of the love and laughter she spread to all that knew her. The immediate family started the celebrating last night. Many of us celebrated a bit too much, I am included in that group. A few of us a paying for it this morning also.
Being in a home filled with close family, everyone loving and laughing, is certainly just what my heart was needing. Thank you to Kristi, Jay and Charlie for opening your home to make this time so special. I love you all. Thank you Kelly and Kim for coming in from so far away to be with us, I love you both so much. My daughters Kerri and Tiffany, my strength, my joy, my support. I love you as only a mother can love. Kasey, my first niece, do you know how special you are to me and I absolutely love Jay. I'm so happy he's going to be part of our family. He's already a part of it in my heart. My sweet sister Cindy, I love you so much and I appreciate your tenderness and sweet support and you know I love you Bates. What a great brother-in-law.
Well, my electricity went off before I could finish today's card. I'm home now from my mom's celebration. I was amazed at all that came. So so many of her friends, so much family, so much love. I know she was smiling down with the angles. Right now I'm at a bit of a loss for words, now that's not something that happens very often with me. My life will change now. For so many years mom was an every day part of my life. There's a void now. A realization that I don't know what to do each day. Time will heal that and I will find a new way. A way that is mine alone. A new journey. It will come, but not today, not tomorrow. It will take some time to learn to just be again.
Oh mom, I miss you and love you so so much.........
