I am going through some boxes of some of moms stuff. It is things that you keep, but do not really need. Some useful, some not. It is hard to get rid of it. But it is stuff we just do not need. And have no room for it. Mom was better at keeping some stuff then we are. Dad said tonight that he was not a keeper, but there is some stuff I should not get rid of. I told him he better nail it down then. I was joking of course and we both had a good laugh. I think maybe doing this is a good thing too. Yes hard, but good I think.
Hey there, just wanted to stay in touch. Not that I think anyone really actually reads this. But I guess knowing that makes me feel a little more free to write. lol
Yesterday was Mother's Day. It was hard, but I made it through. I miss my mom and to think that she was not around on her special day was so very sad. Although I can not even imagine the great time she is now having up in Heaven. I am so glad I know where she is, but it still makes me sad to think she is not here. I loved her so much and I think about the times we spent having fun and sometimes not having fun. lol Mom and I did not always agree and well sometimes not even get along about things. But I hope (and know) that she knew how much I loved her. She had a different way about doing things and thinking about things, but I guess in a way that is what made her who she was. People did not understand her, and I guess at times I did not either. But she was always there for everyone. I remember her always wanting to show her support when someone was going through a rough time. And there were times that it was not easy doing it but that is who she was. She would help in anyway she could. I wish I was more like her in that way. She did not care what others thought of her, she did what she felt was the right thing to do, regardless! And I know even if she did not agree with how I may do things, she would always be there for me. I have always been closer to my dad, but now that I look back I think I was closer with my mom in another way. Don't know if that makes sense, but that is the way I feel. I just wish I had more time with her, but I am glad for the time I did have. Please do all you can, no matter the difficulties, to spend time with those you love. And make sure they know how much you care.
