So it's coming up on the 2nd anniversary of Mom's passing. I'm kinda dreading it. I need to look at it as celebrating her life instead of the "day."
So much happening, closure on an old relationship. But somewhat mixed signals. And what I take from it is things happen for a reason. And I can't look back and only want to move forward. At the same time, closing the door on a current relationship. Never has the phrase "actions speak louder than words" hit home more than now! Enough said....
And Mom was there giving me signs.....I know it sounds kooky but I truly believe she sent me signs so I can hopefully make the right decisions. When I make my weekly visit, I'm always asking her "what should I do? Give me a sign!" But it's not the same as having her live in person, telling me what to do. And now I would listen and treasure her advice instead of brushing her off.
Dad is still grieving as he reminisces about where they used to go eat, shop and what she liked and didn't like. Still getting emotional. And it's hard cos you know what he's feeling yet need to be strong for him. Though I think Mom would be happy as its brought me, Norm and Dad closer together. We make it a point to have dinner every week. Dad cooks up a storm enough for 5 ppl. And y'all know I'm not much of a leftovers type of gal.
Everything else is great. Work is busy but I hired someone to help me!! So now I feel comfortable going on vacation. I just need to figure out where to.....The condo is...well, a work in progress. Need to figure out the ac issue. And need to get motivated on decorating. Still have clothes in boxes and hope to organize my closets. Thanks to my brother for setting up my closet organizer.
Lastly, been thinking about my upcoming birthday. The big 50...and what it all means. But I guess I have time to figure it all out....someone tell me!!??
