I got down to my sister’s home in fairly good time. I’d actually left later than I usually like to because my windshield cracked and I had to wait for the repairman to come and replace it. He showed up early and by 11:30 I was on my way.
The sky was bright, the sun was warm, and the traffic light as I made my way along the highway. I listened to music most of the time, but as I neared Mel’s home, I shut it off and just listened to the noise of the road, and the thoughts running around in my mind.
I don’t suppose that it is ever easy to bury your father. I found myself thinking of all the times throughout my life when I’d done things with him. School, church, barbecues, clambakes, weddings, and funerals. I just kind of let my mind go and remember, and grieve a little, quietly, calmly.
The next few days I will spend with my Mom and sister as we make the last minute arrangements, and set things up for Sunday’s service.
For tonight, I plan a good night’s sleep and the comfort of spending this time with my family.
I hope everything goes smoothly and you’re there to help support your Mom and your sister. Hugs.
Hi Mom,
Glad to hear your trip down went well. I’ll be thinking of you, and will look forward to seeing you on Sunday!

Love,

Maribeth, know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Somehow I missed that your father had passed. You are taking care of yourself and of your family. ((hugs))
You’ve got a great family. They’ll look so nice 🙂
