I don't even know where to start this post..
My wonderful mom, Rosemary, passed into our Father's arms in the early morning of April 12th. She had been ill and bedridden for over 2 years, and I know she was ready to pass into the next world, Heaven. She told me that many times. I know she is in our Father's loving arms, with her parents and siblings, and all the dogs and cats we have had in our lives that have passed on. I know there were so many people and animals that were there to welcome her.
The hard part is being left behind. I don't know how to grieve my mom. This is new to me.. I've lost my grandparents, but this is different. It's a wound that doesn't feel like it will heal. I know it's only been two weeks, I just have to learn how to grieve. One day at a time..
There will be a memorial/open house at my folks home in Desert Hot Springs on Thursday, May 12 from 3-7. I look forward to honoring my mom on that day and always. But on the other hand, its a day I dread. I will get through this with the help of Carl and my kids and grandkids, many friends and relatives.
My dad is just lost, lost, lost. It breaks my heart when I talk to him on the phone. I can't seem to find the right words to comfort him. that makes me sad, too.
This picture is of mom and I in happier times, drinking blueberry beer in St. George, Utah about 10 years ago.. Gosh I miss her sense of humor and smile.
Love you mom!!
