Three months ago today my mom passed away. Life is unfair. I miss her so much.
"I am sorry Mom", all she wanted to do was go Geocaching and I complained that it took up my spare time.
Every weekend she would plan on where we would go and what we would do, I would say "When do I get Me time?".
Well I got Me time now and I think I would give anything to take her Geocaching again.

Mary and I planted some purple flowers for my mom and a plant of gold and brown leaves for Father's Day

June 23, 2010 Today our dear friend, Mary Bennett, joined her family in heaven. I know it was a beautiful reunion and take comfort in knowing that we will all be together again when our time comes. As their family prepare Mary's funeral I create a place for Mary on Life Ever After. http://www.lifeeverafter.com/marybennett

Lei Ann, Mary and I stopped by the cemetery. I added the wind chime from your kitchen closet to the collection of mementos at your grave. The flowers are in bloom and I left a dime in the camper bank.
We miss you both.

4 months have passed but it seems like forever. I miss you both so much. I feel so alone even in a room full of family. I try to instill in my children the lessons you taught me and the values you both have. Maybe one day they will hear my words. I love you mom and dad.

Tonight I sit at home and think of 5 months ago. I listen to the radio and a song plays "You're gonna miss this". I sat with my mom and held her hand as the life left her. She had so many broken bones and she knew that even if she survived she wouldn't be the same. She told all of us goodbye. She said don't cry. She got mad at me because I was sad. She waved goodbye to everyone that was there. The doctor talked to all of us and told us what to expect. I was in denial. I thought she would last a week or so because my dad did. As I sat there holding her hand, the nurse came in and said it won't be long now. I wasn't ready to say goodbye. No its not fair. I want my mom. But I didn't want her to suffer and I knew she would be with my dad and that would make her happy. So I said goodbye.
Ten minutes to three in the morning (3/19/10) my mom left this world. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her. I miss you mom.

I said goodbye to the camper today. It needs inspected and it would have been over $2,000 for tires, brakes and oil change. At this point in my life I didn't have $2 to spend on something I couldn't use right now anyway. School is starting and I have work and where would I store it. I thought about at the shop but its too big to go in the doors. Sitting outside is not an option, storing it in the barn was not an option
I talked it over with my Aunt Shirley and Aunt Olive and they both agreed, sell it to someone that will use it. I have good memories with my mom and children, its time to move on.
I went to Aunt Olives last night and slept in the camper in her driveway. I slept well, dreaming of all our adventures. Laughing now of all the silly fights we had and going the wrong way. Driving down a road I knew I couldn't turn around to get back. Missing my parents.

Olive and I hid your blacken pretzel jar up at Winter Green Gorge. She called it "The Ghost of Grammyannie". She put your Classic Rubber Duck travel bug in there.
Hopefully it will be published without any problems. Mom, Olive has been a lot of help to me. She's there to listen when I need to rant and rave. She understands.
We miss you..

At work today, Saturday, I have all my grandchildren with me. Jalita asks about great grandma and when can she see her. Terry tells her she's gone.
Jalita says she's at the zoo. Lazarus never got a chance to know her, and he is growing so fast.

We miss you great-grandma

Stopped by the cemetery today, brought some mums. I love you Dad and Mom.

We went out after dark and the solar light was shining so bright. It light the whole stone and the surrounding grass.

Six months. It seems like so much longer. A day feels like a week long. Especially without you.

Lei Ann is working at Shear Delight again and her boss had a car for sale. She sold it to Lei Ann and State Farm insured her.

It's inspected until 4/2011 and She has AAA

Sue came up to visit, like she did every year. Only this year you are not here to go in the woods looking for hidden treasures.
So we decided to fix one of your caches. Neither of us have a green thumb so we got plastic flowers and used some sierra red wood chips.
