Rough Month
I am sitting here trying to catch up on everything. My life this past month has really been on a roller coaster ride. I will start at the most recent and go backwards:
1) My mom died on Sat. My sister and I were her main care givers. We had the service last night due to Tropical Storm Alberto. The burial will be this afternoon. I spent 5 nights at the hospital with little to no sleep. We know she is at peace and was ready to go home.
2) We went to Tennessee just prior to my mom dying. We were on our way home when I got the phone call. It was a quick trip but a good one. We saw Alton's parents who are in a nursing home, had a cook out for the family and stayed with his sister.
3) Alton gave me a birthday party with close friends and family for my 55th birthday. We had a really nice time.
4) We went camping for the first time in my life Memorial Weekend. We bought a 3 room tent and all the needed items and had a great time. We went to a local springs and floated down the river with hunderds other people.
5) Alton retired May 8th and I gave him a reitrement party. We opened up the Karoke room and everyone tried to sing. (Some better than others 
)
All of this has happened since May 13th.
I also went to see the plastic surgereon and he is appealing the denial from the insurance company. He wants to do a complete front overhaul. More than the abdoninoplasticy. This would be from below the breast area to the pelvic area. I sure hope it works.
You all take care and hang in there..I have learned to take it one step at a time and remembe, life has its ups and downs it is how we handle the "down" times that matters the most. Thank goodness we have friends and family to help up through the rough times.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you get some rest and continue to make the most of every day. I've lost 3 close family members in just over a year (mother, brother, father-in-law). It is tough, but the memories of the times together are there forever. Let these memories be a comfort to you. How long we live does not matter nearly as much as HOW we live...
Hugs!

Thank you for your responses. Alton and I left yesterday and I am in Tennesse for a few days...getting some TLC from him and his sister. I needed to get away.
Mom loved Alton and she was very glad that I met someone and I told her it was ok for her to go on as I had someone with me again.
Please continue to pray for me and my family...the dividing of the personal items will not be easy. All of a sudden everyone wants something but did not have much time for mom.
