Lost mom update

Thanks to all for the kind words of encouragement and support and your prayers. Though we are strangers in the "face-to-face" meaning, you are all friends and your words mean a whole lot and are appreciated. I will repeat something I said recently when I lost my tractor buddy "Mr. Frank" awhile back. Do all you can for your parents, say all you can to your parents, and thank them for all the things they've done for you over the years. I was fortunate to have taken my mom to dinner a few days before she died and I spoke to her on the phone the night before she died, but there is always the thought that I could've done more or said more. Now I'll wait 'til we are reunited in heaven.

I know the next few months (at the very least) will be difficult. Everyday life throws reminders of her at you when you least expect it, and it can catch you with a big lump in your throat quite often. Over time the pain of the loss you feel will ease, and you will focus on cherishing the memories of her. Thank God that you had her as long as you did, and also be thankful that you had a good relationship with her...there are so many people who don't know what that is like and have empty lives because of it.

"Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us, our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life."
