Howdy Mom, So while I haven’t forgotten about you yet, it is time for me to focus on me more. Today I went to the cardiologist appointment. Not much to tell about that really. He spoke to me, got my history and decided that he would like to do some tests to either rule out…
Hey mom, I got a surprise in the mail today. A package from Mike Tygart and it was huge. It took a while to get it unwrapped, but once I did get it out of the vault he encased it in, I found the most beautiful chest of drawers. My goodness mother, you would love…
Hi Mom, I know I talked with you already today, but I am just having one of those moments. You know, where the realization hits you smack in the face that life won’t be the same. I walked out into the living room and your couch was empty. Feeling sad and needing a hug 🙁
Hey mom, The heat today is just miserable. Temperature right now is 99 degrees with 33% humidity. I went uptown for a bit to get some froyo and read ‘The Paper”. I didn’t expect it to have your death notice in it, but it did. That was a little sad to see. Afterward I stopped…
Hi Mom, Gosh it seems strange without you around. I think it is getting easier, but I sometimes have these moments of panic where I think how in the world will we get by without you. Had a couple of those moments today. Started out when I had a dream where you and dad showed…
Hey mom, I know that you didn’t really watch movies so you won’t get that reference, but this heatwave has not let up yet. Even Apache is miserable. Anyhoo… I got out of the house for a bit today to sit in the air conditioned car and stopped by the cemetery for a quick visit….
Hi Mom, I have been asked this question frequently. It is a well intentioned question, but a strange one at the same time. This question provokes many thoughts in my head when I hear it. * Does this person really want to know? * Does this person expect that the answer will be something other than…
Mom and I talked several times about different aspects of her funeral. Unlike dad, who didn’t want any sort of deal made when he passed, mom wanted a funeral. Her requirement was that the funeral should be simple and not overtly religious (or rather not specific to any religious sect). She wanted to have an…
Hola Mamasita, I haven’t forgot about you yet, so don’t worry about that 🙂 Today was kind of miserable. It was the first full day without anyone around here, except for Jason and I. I haven’t cried today, but it’s early yet so we shall see how that goes. Wanted to a couple of times….
Hey mom, We had your service yesterday and it was exactly what you wanted, except I just could not find an all english tenor version of Con Te Partiro (Time to say goodbye). Outside of that, it was wonderful. You had many friends and family there to celebrate your life and say goodbye. Unfortunately Laverne…
