friday

So I met two of my sisters at mom and dads house last evening.( Being with my sisters and my dad helps me tremendously in dealing with the passing of my mom.)
We almost finished packing moms stuff.
Last week we took a huge load of shoes and clothing to the good will store. they were happy to see us........and very helpful  in unloading the cars.
I have one more large shelf of clothes left to pack and then the job will be complete. I plan on taking the last load of clothing to my work. Many of my patients don't have enough clothes, and do not have the money or family to help them buy some. It would make my mom happy if I gave some of her clothing to my patients. It will make my patients happy too.

Each morning now I read an essay from the book mom kept at her bedside.
I look forward to it. Helps me feel connected to mom. There are 365 essays. So daily for a year I have something to look forward to. It helps.

I'm having the kids over for dinner tomorrow evening.
I thought I'd make spaghetti and meatballs, salad, garlic bread, and apple pie. They all love my spaghetti.
I'm looking forward to having them here...............they worry about me............much the same as I worry about my dad. We're a family of worriers. I iwsh it wasn't that way................so I want to spend time with them so that they can see I am OK...............but mostly I just like spending time with them.

Today I will clean the house..........and I have personal belongings from my mom to give to my oldest and to my youngest sister. I'm going to try to do it today.
