We buried our mom last Friday. I'm very down, as I think about what has changed in our family.
I'm thinking and wondering about my future as I am 61 mom was 78 and I was convinced she would live to 100. How long does that leave me...?
Now I realize, she was a mom, a friend, grandmother, and great grandmother. And she was a wonderful lady. Who we will miss terrible. When we leave, have we left our family strong and able to go on? My mom did..now I hope I'm able to do the same. She was a great example of who we should be...
More to come, once my head clears. Today, I just wanted to share how much I miss her.. Thanks for reading.

Dorothy, I am so sorry for your loss. My grandmother is 104!! Although she isn't totally aware of who I am it is neat that through her, my kids have that sense of heritage. You are younger than your 61 years. I love that you have a website and blog there and here. Stay young and vibrant, Dorothy.

Dorothy, I'm so sorry for your loss. It's never easy to lose a loved one. But there's something even more poignant about losing a parent. I've been thinking about that a lot more lately given my mom's battle with lung cancer. I don't think I'll ever be ready to let her go.
