Guest guest Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Hi everyone, I just returned from my mother's service and it was absolutely beautiful!! In celebration of Christmas, we had a lighted tree and played her favorite carols. The day was special in so many ways -- I saw family and friends I haven't seen since childhood and was able to renew old friendships with those I had lost touch with over the years. So many wonderful memories and thoughts were shared today which brought me comfort. Although I had a heavy heart today, I also felt at peace. I could feel my mother's presence and love -- almost as if her own arms were wrapped around me. My mother always loved Christmas and the winter season. Last night an inch of snow fell on the ground, so the ambience was just perfect!! Today I will spend time alone to grieve. Tomorrow it's time for me to start thinking about my own journey. At this moment I'm feeling so many different emotions -- excitement, fear, grief... Despite this, I know I must continue on for there are better days ahead. <smile> Surgery date: 12/22/04 (2 days and counting!)
