Thanks for your sympathy
Recently I posted that my mom had passed away. Even though I had been absent from OH for 2+ months (long story, just ask if you want to hear it), I received dozens of wonderful, comforting responses. Today I just want to say thank you. Yesterday we had a memorial service for Mom, and although I wept through much of it, I feel better now. It seems that every day I think of something I want to tell Mom, or I remember something funny or profound that she told me. She not only gave me life, she gave me a treasure chest of wisdom and memories.
I'm hoping that soon I'll be able to return to OH on a daily basis and give you all the (dubious) benefit of my own wisdom and memories. In the meantime, take good care of yourselves and your moms.

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Jean, you have to do what you have to do and when it is done we are all going to be here waiting for your return with open arms. That is the true meaning of family.
I still find myself wanting to talk to my Mom and even though I know she is gone I still do and I know that she is listening. Mom wouldn't respond to anyone toward the end but when I came in and talked to her she would talk to me. That told me that a mom never forgets the sound of their children's voices...even when they are nearer to heaven than being on earth. So that is how I know that she is still listening. Mom's never forget.
I am sending you lots of love and hugs along with prayers for this first holiday season. They are for the most part the hardest.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
