Thank you all again for your thoughtful comments. It is a comfort in this sad time.
It took me a while to write the obituary. How do you sum up someones life in so few words? I wanted to capture some of the highlights of her life, yet give a sense of what a great loving person she was. It came out ok, but seems so inadequate.
Now I'm trying to get used to the fact that she's gone. I was shopping and picked up a blouse I thought she would like, then I remembered. I'll be cooking and want her advice about a recipe, and I remember. She was a great mom and friend, and I was so lucky to have her for as long as I did. I only wish it was even longer. |
