A Visit From Mom

It has been a month now since Mom transcended to a higher plane. I got her insurance papers in the mail and I gathered my courage and called the funeral home to see if they had the death certificates ready. It had been sent to the health department to be recorded and the funeral home would call when it had been returned. The funeral home called the yesterday morning to tell me they were ready for pickup. By the time I had bathed and dressed Richard and fixed breakfast the extra energy, I had...

The Mighty Warrior Spirit.

An ode to my alma mater Happy Valley High Spirit in the Clouds Happy Valley High Spirit Shines Over the Valley He comes on the breath of the wind. A whisper in the trees. The mighty Warrior Spirit filling the valley below. Bringing victory to the tribe that dwells upon the hill. For many moons his mighty Spirit has reigned and walked thes halls. And showered strength on all who entered through these doors, to learn, To play and to show who is the mightiest Warrior of all. He comes on the breath... Sign in to see full entry.

It's almost over I hope

It has been a long week and a half. The events of being a victim while also trying to put things back together after my Mom died has been overwhelming. We still have to have all our locks changed and I need to get some white sage to clear the house. We have a new caregiver agency that is starting next week. They called today and will becoming to do an assessment of needs which is something we didn't receive with our other. Who ever broke into my Mom's house during her funeral has returned at...

Miss Daisey

Mom's cat Miss Daisey has finally made herself at home. She hid for the first week and cried all night. She got outside on Thursday and didn't come in for over 24 hours. She went back to Mom's but Blake couldn't catch her. She showed up Friday night and went out today again and came back tonight. She has finally decided to sleep with me like she did with Mom. Mom talked to her like a little baby so I've been talking to her the same and she just purrs and rubs and twirls. She has made friends... Sign in to see full entry.

I Made It Through The Day

We made it through the day. I actually slept fairly well last night even with Richard getting me up at 2:30am wanting to get ready to go. I got him settled down and back to sleep until 5:30am. He let me bath and dress him after my shower. Thank goodness. Then he let me get dressed without interruption. This is not a usual occurrence. He didn't make a fuss about how his clothes had to go on a certain way. I was totally amazed. We were ready when Teena got here and out the door by 6:45am and... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank Goodness for Tomorrows

I am connected to the Light. The caregiver must take care of the caregiver or no caregiving will be done. Sunlight and sunny days always help to clear the way. I need to always be reminded to connect to the Light, ground and center myself to keep the flow of positive energy continuous. I am going to live in the moment and stay in a positive feed back loop of love. Like attracts like so I am going to maintain love, peace, harmony, healing, prosperity, and happiness. This could take a lot of deep... Sign in to see full entry.

I can't even talk about it

Please semd prayers and healing light. I just thought Wed. emt visit was the topper. Little did I know and still little do I know. I am certainly in the middle of a life lesson of unbelievable magnitude. If God does not put upon us more than we can bear, I'm a hair's breath from it. I may not blog or commnt for awhile as total aphasia is setting in outgoing and incomng. I'm just going to have to shut down and connect with Spirit until I can come to some kind of peace again. I pray I will have... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, that just tops it

I finally get to a good sleep stage for the first time in a week when someone starts pounding on my front door and ringing the bell. I go to the living room and this man is staring in my front door window. My front door window is very high and all I can see is a pair of eyes. I cautiously open the door and it is 3 parimedics who said someone from child protective services had called and someone at this address had overdosed. Then they said the sheriff was on the way and who else was here. When I... Sign in to see full entry.

At least the weather matches my mood

Everything is covered in snow and the roads are covered with ice and the sky is gray. My soul is frozen and my thoughts are cold and gray. There is no sunshine to brighten the days. I feel too tired to even breath. I hope tomorrow is a better day. Sign in to see full entry.

I guess I'm on for another month

Thank all of you for your prayers and support. It has been a week that seems a year long. I pray that all of your will be showered with love. We (my sister, nephew and my children) cleaned out part of Mom's stuff so Blake can move on through his grief and not be reminded of Grandma's empty chair. Mom had every wall covered with something and never threw anything away. Does anybody like knickknacks? I got bathroom detail. Four bags of makeup and lotions and hair stuff. But Grandma looked good and... Sign in to see full entry.

Two Poems For My Mom

A kiss goodbye. Rejoice There is a path that we each take to find our way back home. The time and journey decided on before we take a step. We bring with us love and joy to multiply as our family grows. Keeping open our connection to the All above. Our angels travel with us daily to guide and give support. Surrounding us with the Light above to make our journey safe. Life lessons learned, we lie in peace; our soul rejoicing. We discard this body we've called home while on this earthly path. Our...

My Moma died in her sleep today

She died with her prayer answered to die peacefully in her sleep. My Daughter Brooke found her this afternoon. She and Scott had just returned from FL and stopped by my house to get Spunky and then went to see her Grandma. My heart is broken for I was not ready for her to go before Richard. She was my rock and my support. Please keep my family in your prayers. thank you Sharon Sign in to see full entry.
