Today is one month. It feels like 10 years has been crammed into that one month and at the same time it feels like she left us yesterday.
We cleaned out the majority of the house yesterday with the help of Bridget, Kevin, Angela, Tony, Eric Dietz and Sanders, Heather, Mrs. Park and Kathleen. It went well but by the end I was physically and mentally exhausted. I didn't sleep well the night before either. It's all just emotionally draining and stressful for everyone.
We had a few laughs and more than a few tears. We've got another week to get the rest of the house emptied and cleaned but we filled the large dumpster half way through the day yesterday and now we have to await another small one being delivered before we can go any further. My mother did not know how to throw anything away. lol I think my brother counted 11 pairs of crutches? And we found things packed away that I'm positive my mother didn't even remember.
The Squishy
My mother loved her kids but she worshipped Morgan.
Mom and Morgan
I think this is my favorite, recent picture of my mother. This was on Thanksgiving. I think it's an image that will stick in my head, my mother watching over Morgan as she sleeps. <3
My Mumma and her's
My grandmother is the most important person in all of our lives but most especially in my mother's life.
Mom, Bryan and Angela
My mother was so excited about the shower and watching her face as she carried the gifts over to Bryan and Angela to open was part of what I enjoyed. She was so excited to touch every thing that would be a part of the baby's life!
Mom, Bry and Morgan
This was in the hospital the day after Morgan was born. I know this was one of my mother's happiest moments.
Me and Mumma
The fact that I'm posting a picture of myself should say something. My mother loved this picture of the two of us, I of course think I look terrible but here it is! >.>
Mom and Shirley
My mother and her best friend. I know she thanked God every day for Shirley and the kids. I always imagined them going off into the sun set like an older Thelma and Louise...only you'd hear them gabbing from a mile (or 10) away!!
My mommy about to be a Nana!
This was from Angela's baby shower. One of the girls from work gave her this pillow. She was so happy about being a Nana!!!
