Got a call from my cousin whom I have not seen since the 80s. He told me about witnessing a death too. It sucks for everyone, but it did help me know I am not alone. Going to the funeral home again today to do more for mom's memorial. Normally I find it easy to write things, but outside poems, this is quite different. I don't even know what to put in the OB, I do but I don't, if that makes any sense?
Mom is more than words. I can only talk about how giving and loving and caring she is, what she likes and does in life, but I know she is that and far more. Mom is worthy of Hitchens prose, but I cant even get close to his lexicon. Mom is the core compassionate side of family relations, and the core of the good side of our species. There when you need help, there when you need an ear. A lifetime of educating children preparing them for life, even taught overseas in Spain. Loves sailing, loves her friends Judy, Joan, Bea, Robin, Mary and Paula. Always leaves a positive impression to everyone she meets. Never is afraid to tell you what she thinks, assertive and confident. You have my mom in your life, you have a relationship that is priceless.
I say everything I can think of and it doesn't seem to be enough.
