It’s been a busy, busy week.
Hard to believe Mom died a week ago, November 1.
Many people have praised us for a beautiful service. Regardless of your feelings or grudges, I believe our loved ones deserve to be remembered for the good things in their lives. That is what we concentrated on. All the rest faded into the background. It was amazing how feelings change during the dying process. I believe we forgive everyone. This statement is about the small slights, the grudges; it is not about sexual abuse, or other amoral, illegal things. It’s understandable for those who fit in the last category. I don’t think I could forgive those things.
We followed her instructions as nearly as we could. Sorry we couldn’t find a soloist to sing “Tears In Heaven,” so here it is now, just for you, Mom. We miss you and love you.
