Susan-I remember that was the one of the first things i was told to do by my family was to give her clothes away.  I did.  It was very hard.  but i kept some things that reminded me of her just for a while.  I know i cried buckets.  I am glad it is all done except boxes my brothers won't help me go thru.  I will give them another month then i Have to get rid of them.  I miss mom so much.  Been so down lately.  Cannot stop thinking about her and whether or not i did everything she needed and wanted that last year.  I am praying i took care of her the way she wanted.  I truly hope she knew i loved her so.  I tld her all the time, but did she really know?

i visited my mom's grave the other day, it was hard, but then when i actually got there, it wasnt that bad, it was just a place where she rests, it didnt bother me, im glad i went though, it was so peaceful

 I did not think I would be able to part with my mother's clothes so soon, but in one of those moment where you act without thinking, I found myself at a nursing home with a big tote full of Mom's clothes and shoes.  I lugged the tote to the nurse's station, told the nurse that my 82 year old mother recently passed away and I was wondering if  any of the patients could use Mom's clothes.  She said they would love to have them and could definately put them to good use.   As she helped me off-load the clothes from my tote into plastic bags, I noticed a group of elderly ladies in their wheelchairs gathered nearby, watching and listening. I smiled and said hello but being the emotional time that it was, I couldn't say much more.  As I turned to leave,  the ladies said "thank you" and one reached out at patted my hand.... such a simple gesture but one of the kindest expressions I have received, as by their expressions I could tell their thoughts were not on the clothes, but on their Mothers and I knew they understood.

Hey I wanted you to know Laura, it gets easier to remember all the memories.  As far as losing mom i am on a rollarcoaster right now not knowing where to go or what to do at times.  It has been 7 months and i seem to be having more good days and i am so happy for that.  Mom would have wanted it that way!  But, still it is tough and seems to be getting more frequent again.  Better tomorrows~

My two daughters, Andrea 29 and Teddi 26, and I are going to get our memorial tattoos tomorrow at noon. I'm so excited.  Then I've got a couple of friends from high school coming to visit.  Were going to have a slumber party. This is the first thing I've looked forward to in almost 4 weeks.

Today was a bad day and I dont even know why. I hope sleep  comes easily tonight. I could use a good nights sleep.

Tara; I'm so sorry. Cancer is this evil disease that we have to contend with and fear. It took my mom in the most cruel way. Mom had numerous health problems through the years and we thought maybe high blood pressurewould kill her, instead she had to endure this monster for over one year. I get angry very easily these days. I'm in the deepest grief and don't even want to go on one more day but somehow, I've made it. I'll say a prayer for you, its been two months since mom passed. Still as painful as ever.
