To start, I want to thank all of you for your gentle words and caring.
Really.
I do.
I love you so much!!
My sister in law phoned, after the funeral, and told me everything that happened. Both she, and my brother, were vehement in saying that her departure was calm, quick and that she did not suffer. One can always hope and pray that it was so.
I am not going to talk about this anymore.
I have to remember her own words to me, whenever something bad happened:
"Shake the dust off, suck your tummy in, prop your boobs out, lift your head up, and carry on!"
Sucking the tummy in and propping the boobs out was emphasized because we girls should never be sloppy, right?
Love ya'll !

Awww. Love her advice. She was a pistol, for sure - just like her daughter... God bless!
Beautiful picture! I'm sure that what they tell you is true. End of sympathy if that is what you want, but if later - you want to talk - it will be all right.
Stick tummy in? I would need the Iron Maiden.
Prop up my boobs? Maybe with a roll of duct tape. Guess I am terribly sloppy and out of shape.
Carry on! Have a Good Sunday!
Sweet Sharon, I am just hurting too much! Trying to change my line of thoughts is only my way of attempting to stand up firm again. Poor Hubby must be tired of seeing my eyes popped out like a lizzard's from crying so much.
Thank you for your support, my friend.
Love ya.
God has sent the Comforter, that is, His Holy Spirit to give peace to your heart and you will carry on in a way that will make your Mother proud.
And what would we do in times like this without Sharon's quick wit and wonderful humor? Don't we just love her to pieces? (there she is making me laugh through my tears again)
(((HUGS YOUR WAY)))
I'm just catching up and reading your sad, sad news now. I am so sorry to hear it, and full of admiration for your grieve-and-love-and-move-ahead spirit. A big hug to you from all of us at Mucky Boots.
I've been MIA lately almost everywhere and so sorry to read you lost your mother...That is a painful part of life, losing one's mother. I was 35 when I lost mine and I always in a way, envy people who speak of having lunch or shopping with their moms. All my best to you and hope you "feel" her near..
Dear sweet Miriam,
Give yourself time, my friend. That tummy can stay slack and those boobs can hang south for a while longer yet. Your husband will understand. A brave face is ok but allow yourself the time you need to grieve.
With love,
J
