Hello dear friends. I am so overwhelmed by your kindness and love. This is so hard. Tomorrow we have to go for a viewing at the funeral home and I can't stand the thought of seeing my mom in a casket. It will be another blow. I was just down at her house looking at all her earthly treasures...remembering and crying...and wanting to go back to those days. Her funeral is Wednesday morn at 11.
I got a call today from the floral shop where we ordered mom's flowers for the funeral. The lady said she had a beautiful bouquet there for me from my YT friends. You are so very good to me and I'm so touched. The lady asked if I wanted them to deliver it to me, or to the funeral home. I asked her to deliver it to the funeral home so they will be displayed there and at the funeral and then I will bring it home with me. I know it will be so beautiful and I thank each and every one of you for your generosity and love. Thank you so VERY much! I will take a picture of the flowers and post it on YT!
I probably haven't mentioned this, but even though my mom didn't have the internet, she was always up to date on what was happening on YT. I would always tell her if someone needed prayers and I remember a couple of times we cried together on the phone talking about a sick yorkie or YT'er. Mom had a heart of gold...she had such love and empathy for everyone and her heart broke when she heard of people's trials and tribulations. She never thought of herself...just everyone else, be it family or stranger.
It is going to be frigid cold the day of the funeral. I wonder if this weather will ever warm up.
I took Maddie to Mom's tonight and I guess Maddie must have understood when I told her Grandma died, because she wasn't excited about getting into the house and once in, she didn't go running looking for her as she always did.
Oh man oh man...this is so hard. Thanks everyone! Love you and appreciate you so. I want to print out this thread and keep it always. Does anyone know...is there a way to print it out without getting all the other stuff? I guess even if I use up a cartridge of ink, it would be worth it to have this on paper.
This is the song I had in my head the last 2 days my mom was alive...I know it's a love song meant for a couple who are splitting, but the chorus was all I knew...and it just came into my head.
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
How am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone |
