It is just really sinking in now that my/our mother is gone. After months of feeding her, dressing her and basically planning my life around her, that is all over. I keep thinking it’s time to get mother up and fed, it’s time for her pills, or at the grocery store, I think mother would like this to eat....then suddenly it hits me, she is gone. Our mother (and Father) were the best parents ever. We did not always get what we wanted but we certainly got all we needed. Mother fell I love with Daddy at 11 yrs old and he with her at 13. That love lasted all their lives They were not ones to say they loved us or even huggers to us.
However we never doubted the love they had for their children and grandchildren! It was so obvious.
I say I was lucky to have my mother with me for 71 years, and then also it is hard to have her that long and now she is gone! How do I deal with that?Mother liked to often say my brother and I never left home... I moved in the house next door and he moved into the house across the street. She never stopped mothering us, in a good way... she would always know and comment abt how late or early in the morning we got home. She seemed to always know We love you Mother. Your last couple of years were rough and the last six months or so were painful to go thru and watch as you slipped further and further away from us. We are very sad that you are gone but I know you did not want to live the way you were. You were just existing. Now you have gone to your heavenly home and I know Daddy was waiting for you! I bet there is a big reunion going on with your parents, sisters and all your in laws. We had and have a great family... enjoy your reunion, hug Daddy for us and just know you did a great job as a Mother !
