This is my mother when she was about 22 years old. I'm not sure, but I think she
was expecting me at this time.
I really thought that this long after my mom passed away I would be further along
in the grief process. But I've had the black heavy blanket of depression pressing down on my shoulders today, and I've been near tears, and irritable. Sorry, Mom, I know you told us all to not cry for you, but I just can't keep that promise. I am honestly trying here. I don't like to cry in front of the girls, but some times the crying is the best part of it all. For me, crying is like a pressure cooker..it lets off some of the pressure of the weight of grief.
The beautiful lady sitting in the chair is my mother. This was taken about 3 months before she passed away. The doctors had given her 3 to 6 weeks to live, but bless her sweet heart, she made it four months. I am sure it was my excellent care! (and the continued love and care given by my dad, and my three wonderful brothers)
I'm sorry if this is a downer. If you made it this far, thank you for hanging around!
Conduct yourselves wisely, making the best use of the time -Colossians 4:5
