A sad anniversary....

Four years ago today, we lost mom. You, Jean and I spent those last weeks with her caring for her and talking for hours and hours. Over the past four years, we gathered to spend time with or care for dad. Again, talking for hours and hours. In both cases, we had time to say our good byes. To take some time to come to grips with what was happening. You were taken from us so suddenly. We had no time to brace ourselves for the loss we would feel....

Today is a sad anniversary. Mom's death was so difficult. Dad's was so very sad, but he was so ready to go and be with mom and with God. Your passing was devasting. The grief I feel is so very profound... I do find some comfort that I know you are all together.

Be with mom and dad and find peace and comfort together with them and all of the angels and saints in heaven. I love and miss you all deeply. -- Mary
