Seven Eight years ago today SciCom sent you 30 yellow roses (I bet if they knew pink was your favorite rose they would have sent it instead) to celebrate your 30th Anniversary at the company; no matter that you hadn't been able to work since May.
Seven Eight years ago today Mantha, Jim, Bruce Gram and I had birthday cake in your room. We opened gifts - including a Pooh Bear blanket that she still sleeps with - celebrating Mantha's 4th birthday. You slept through the whole party, we tried to wake you, but you were too tired.
Seven Eight years ago today you reached two milestones you promised yourself you would. Your "to do" list was as short as your time left with us.
The last item you never knew came true 1 year and 9 days later. He was due to come on your D day, but he waited until the time was right.
Seven Eight years ago today we knew your time was short. So we savored every moment like it was your last.
what a beautiful tribute to your dad I'm guessing? (or grand dad?)

betty
Isn't it interesting how one soul leaves and another one arrives? I'm sorry that your mom (or mom in law) didn't get to meet Jadon. Does he remind you of her?
ReplyDeleteA beautiful tribute...I'm sorry she is gone.
If only the saying "time heals wounds" were true...Might not be quite as bad as the beginning, but I can't fathom the feeling of loss getting much better. I am SOOOOO close to my parents! Whenever I even enter into thought about possibility of them passing I can't bear it! I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. It sounds like you got to spend her last moments with her. What a precious gift that is. Can't wait to give you a big hug in person next week!-Janelle
