11 Days is a long ass time

I'm finally back home after 11 days with Mama.

I will of course write about it all later. We buried Mama yesterday by my father and oh how odd it felt to walk away from both my parents as we left the cemetery.

It was an awesome, awful, wonderful, scary, beautiful 11 days.

I have also been off of work during this time as well and I have no idea what is going on in the world. I forgot how nice it can be for awhile to be away from TV, Computers and most modern conveniences.

I feel at peace in my spirit, but I already miss her.

I will sit down tomorrow and blog, but I wanted to tell all of you bloggeronians how grateful I have been for your kind words, many prayers and just plain ol' good thoughts going out into the universe for me and my family.

Oh and PS - Brother made it, clean, sober, and in appropriate clothes to the funeral. That did my heart good.

27 OK JUST SAY IT!:

Pammie. It is tough but part of our lives. I have been where you are. Family and friends help during times like this. At least for me it did. It is good that you were able to spend this time with your Mama and your family, and what a blessing that Brother did good. Mama is at peace now. You and your family are, as always, in my prayers.

Hope said...

Gentle hugs to you today Pam.

Willa said...

I'm sorry for your loss, Pam.

We missed you, we felt for you, we said a personal farewell to Mama. Life will never be exactly the same, but it is meant to be changeable. Now my prayers are for those left behind.

I'm sure those were days you will never forget. But, heaven's probably a little brighter today - making room for your mom.

Is there a substitute? Yes, and it is vastly more than that...

Pam - I've missed you and appreciate the update.

I am so very sorry for your loss. It hurts me that no one can walk this way but you. I hope you find the comfort you need.

Blessings and aloha to you and yours.

You are not alone....big hugs and prayers for you. Your story is so similar to mine, except that my Mama couldn't let go until we told her that one of her sons would not be coming.....you did so GOOD. Know that she is always with you, only in a different form. And she is so proud of you!
