Saturday is going to be one of those strangely balanced days between sorrow and joy. My sister Shannon and I are going to look at headstones for mom’s grave in the morning, and then joining the rest of her side of the family for a bar-b-q.
The way all of these events have been timed seems strangely familiar. It’s been almost a year to the day that the whole family was together with my mom there. Sortly afterwards, her health started to slip, and before we knew it she was gone.
This past year has seen so many changes all around me, some good, some bad, and almost all of them making life akward for a while. But the worst seems to be behind me, and with presistance and dilligance, I will continue to move onward and upward with my life.
October 9th will be the true test, though. When I stand there, staring at mom’s headstone, telling her what’s new in my life, and how much I miss her. One year without her….
