Memorial Planning

March 16th, 2010 at 03:32 am

Tonight I went to DD1s house and went through family pics to display at the open house after the service. Seeing those pics of my mom, dad, brother and I brought back such a flood of memories.

Each day is getting a little easier. Thank goodness time eases all things.

DD1 made spaghetti for dinner...so enjoyed a meal with her and her family. I have been alone so much lately that it felt good to be around them and to visit while eating. I also worked a full 8 hour day today...which was a great distraction. I have some big projects I am working on, so I worked through the day, no lunch....and that was the quickest 8-9 hours Ive spent in quite a while...I loved it.

I also enjoyed getting off at 5pm and having a good couple hours of daylight left!!!

I think I am going to splurge on a hammock for my backyard this week so I can lay out in the evenings and stargaze. One of my dads favorite things to do when we camped when I was younger was to look for satellites...I want to do this with the grandbabies too...

The memorial service is this Saturday. I want to do this right, but I am also ready to have this experience behind us.

Im emotionally worn out...but life is very good.

    I'm so glad that things are better for you. Enjoy the memorial service and all the wonderful memories it will bring. And the hammock sounds like a great idea. I loved the one my parents owned while I was growing up. My only advice is to not worry about getting a pillow for the hammock. Outdoor pillows are not comfy on your head.

    I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I recently lost my mother as well, so I can understand what you are going through. Family and good friends are very important at this time.

    Enjoy the hammock. We were given one recently and want to put it up as well.
