I've started to write about my mother several times but haven't been able to until now. The process of the funeral and aftermath have somewhat consumed me. Bit I'm beginning to exhale a bit more.
After being with my mother most of the time during the last year and more, I wasn't with her when she died. The Cosmic Possum told me she waited until I was out of the house so I wouldn't have to experience her death. She could well be right. My mother was always sparing me if she could, making things easier for me, cushioning the blow.
We were in Georgetown for Leah's dance recital, which is exactly where Mama would have wanted us to be. It was important to Leah for us to be there and so we were. I will never regret seeing her dance.
Joe and Judy were here with Mama. Throughout Mama's time here, they had offered countless times to come and stay with her. This was the first time I had accepted. I left Mama with them with complete ease, I knew she would be well cared for. And she was.
I have to stop now but will continue in another post.

I just happened to stumble upon this blog whilst shuffling through the many blogs.
At first I almost clicked next...but then I decided to continue. You have a very compelling story, and I give you a lot of credit for being courageous enough to post all of this on a blog so soon.
Always remember time heals all wounds. Think about the happy times. the times you shared laughing together, smiling, cooking, baking, etc.
It'll be okay(:
