Roll Call November 5, 2006

[EAE]

Hello all,

How good it feels to reconnect with all you who helped me along the way!

It hardly seems possible, but Wednesday of this week it will be two years since my Mother died. I still struggle, but keep trying to put one foot in front of the other and take one day at a time.

I think the seasons changing will always remind me of her last days. When the leaves turn brilliant colors and begin to fall, I know it its time for the anniversary of her death. It is such a beautiful time around here, and I can remember pointing out my dogwood tree to her and telling her how beautiful it was...I would have liked to have had one more Christmas....one more this, and one more that, but she was ready to go.

I rest knowing that she is set free from the beast we all know all too well, and has joined my father in heaven. Somedays I feel like I am an orphan now, but an orphan who got to know both parents well, one who was well loved by both, one who had both into her late 50's, so I am indeed lucky.

I hope you alll are well, and think of you often...May the week ahead be gentle to you all.

Love, Beth

Hello Beth,

Welcome back, so glad that you have been able to reconnect. :)

I know, it is hard to believe that it has been 2 years since your dear Mom passed away. I hope that you will be able to spend some quality time on Wednesday and take time to remember things that have been, but also the good things to come.

I will reply to your e-mail as soon as possible, but you will be in my prayers on Wednesday.

God Bless,
Sally x

Beth, welcome back! It has been a little over a year that my mom passed, its a every day struggle for me to live on.....But i do !i think of my mom every single day, all day. When my mom passing has left a big void. Even though the PSP journey is long and heart breaking i would do it all over if my mom could come back for a little while. I know that she is now in a better place not wanting to return to PSP! Thats where i find my peace. So Rose has to keep living as i know my mom would want me to, keeping her close to my heart. My dad died in 1989 from lung cancer so i know the feeling. I have a small but beautiful family. Beth in joining in venting with you(lol) Hello Sanjay and Sally,Glenda.
