Mom, there is no way to find just one memory, or 2 or 3....I have a lifetime of memories with you and dad. I've been so busy caring for you, knowing that this day would be here someday that I'm finding it hard to believe that you are really gone, every moment that I am awake, I am missing you terribly. As I look around the house and see all of your things that have been laying around for months that never bothered me before...even when you were in the hospital or rehab or the nursing home or Hospice, now are a constant reminder that you are no longer here but rejoicing with the Lord and reunited with dad whom you have missed terribly. And you are no longer in any pain, suffering, laboring for every breath you take, for you I am so happy. For me, I'm just not sure what to do with myself.
As I sorted thru countless pics going all the way back to your young adult life, your early years of marriage, I see first of all what a truly beautiful person you were, always on the inside, but you were just so so pretty. And you had a lifetime of fun, joy, precious memories. I remember hearing your stories of when you & dad first went to Miami...now as I look at the pictures, I see what a fun and exciting time it must have been, living in a little tiny apartment by the beach.
You were an awesome wife, a loving compassionate mom and your heart was full of love for those in your life. Thank you for loving my children and being such an important part of their lives.
I find such comfort when I read things that people write, or a memory they share about you, it keeps me going. I love you dearly and can't wait till we are all together again.
Robin
