I was invited to have dinner with my brother this weekend but am just not up to it. My Hubs is away and its just me and the kitties.
I had a dream about my Mom last night. In the dream we were at some carnival and every time I saw her she was off in the distance talking to someone else. I kept waiting for her to be free so that i could talk to her. Finally the man who was monopolizing her company stood up and looked at me with a motion to go and see your Mom. There was this little alcove. It almost looked like a seat on a ferris wheel. Mom was sitting there and she motioned me to come over. I went and sat beside her, put my head down on her shoulder and just bawled my eyes out. I didn't say a word. It was like all the sadness and despair I have been feeling since she died just came pouring out. My Mom did not say anything. She just let me bawl.
I don't know what the dream meant if anything but its always nice to see my dear, dear Mom in my dreams.
Love to all of you on this Easter!

Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on the ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die. -Mary Frye
And there are those who know their loved ones were instantly in the presence of their God. Love, from Send
My mother passed about 25+ years ago. Today, because of your good words for your Moms, I can say that I loved that my Mom sang 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' to her children.
I would list your names, but would not want to leave anyone out.
There is another year, anything can happen! Take heart, know t h at you are loved
Sending love and prayers for you.
