My mom died last week, and we buried her last Friday. It's been a long and hard time of reflection. I still wonder what all this means.
I'm 61 and my mom was 78. I keep thinking, how much time do I have left? My grandchildren..ages 4 to 26 were all there by my side. William the 13 year old..seemed to say the least. I have a lot of thinking to do. (And follow up with each grandchild). I hope as things settle down in my head, I'll be able to share my thoughts.
Our children should be encouraged to share their feelings. I'll be with my grandchildren on Sunday. I'll let you know how they feel, Especially William. the 13 year. He surprised me with his silence.
Sometimes, it's good to wait before there is a lot of conversation. I hope Sunday will be a good time to share. My mom was the center of our family. With holidays approaching it will be important to continue the traditions she loved.
I'll be back with my thoughts.
