Today I feel sad and hopeful at the same time. I am approaching the first anniversary of my sweet Mothers passing (Tuesday) and feel like I have just started to grieve. Having taken care of my Dad from the minute of Mothers death, I put my feelings and grief on the back burner. After Lees death I was able to grieve. It took a while, but I finally went to grief counseling and was able to focus on my grief. That is so important to those grieving. With Mothers death this wasnt able to happen. I just spent a wonderful week in Orlando going to UCFs spring game, Danielles shower, and spending time with Brent and Danielle. It was a MUCH NEEDED break from my duties here, my first one! It was also a wonderful bonding time for my son, his fiancé and me. I used the time driving home to reflect and remember. I passed so many places my Mother and I had been when traveling together. It was nice to have those memories. I will miss my Mother every day of my life. She was a wonderful, Christian mother, grandmother and wife. She taught me so much. I pray now to use her gifts in my life as I travel down this road of life. I am looking forward to the happiness and joy of the wedding our family will be blessed with soon. Although the challenges are still huge, I pray to enjoy the good things in this life still brings. Not sure why all of this poured out today, but here it is!
