6-Month anniversary for mom


Well, it has been six months since mom's passing. It is interesting how the months have flown by, yet taken what seems "forever". Back in August, I thought I would go through her things much faster; but, unfortunately my attempts were slowed down by what to get rid of next, not to mention the heat. I managed to gather the cake decorating supplies and post it on craigslist. People call and want to split up the collection; I tell them no. It is like tearing up a car; sorry, you can't have just the stearing wheel. I was even thinking about renting the supplies; hmm.

Thinking about mom sure got both John and I festered up about this healthcare system. Mom spent her last seven years being hassled about an old medical bill. John wrote about it in his blog.

Anyway, today is the day I think about mom. Since I have never personally transitioned myself, I can only visualize what her "spirit" is doing now. She is wearing high-heel shoes, lacy blouses and dresses, candles, and her perfect man is dancing with her (James Garner look-alike) at the beach to her favorite songs. She is and always will be loved my her family and friends. She was one special lady.
