Your wake and funeral were attended by lots of friends and family. There were over 100 flower arrangements paying tribute to you. And you looked so beautiful and peaceful.
Dad, Norman and I did ok, right? We know that you wouldn't want us to be sad. I think we were ok because of all of the love and support we felt from everyone who expressed their feelings and sorrow about your passing. You affected alot of people in different ways. But you already knew that. You were always confident of your relationships with others.
Mom, I hope you're ok with the eulogy. Sorry, I know you wouldn't have wanted me to make a big deal. But people need to know what kind of mother you were. I hope I can continue your legacy. I already have the no-holding-back, straight-talking, opinionated characteristic from you. I just need to figure out how to get your confidence and self-esteem! I promise to work on that.
I miss you so much.... I didn't do as well on the day of the funeral. Norman and I agreed it was probably the finality of it. So I'm sorry. I couldn't help it and lost it a few times. Just the thought that I will never see you again and to never hear your voice...reprimanding me, telling me to take care of myself, always worried about me despite the fact that you're the one who's battling cancer.
But I'll be ok, I promise I will take care of Dad and Norman. Even though they don't need taking care of. We love you, Mom....
