  eye,

  Your mother sounds a lot like mine. She was well loved by almost everyone that ever met her. In keeping with her wishes, I have given some furniture to a JW friend she wanted to have it. I will probably give her more of mothers mobility items since they are no longer needed. I guess I am carrying on the tradition, she raised me right!

  Mom was an uber dub, as are my sisters, I am the only defector, But mom and I were the closest because of our similar personalities. Mom would say at times that my sisters were "Watchtower Witnesses" instead of Jehovah's Witnesses because they shunned me.

  I guess they both had pearls of wisdom. I know I would have liked your mom too.

  Flip,

  That is a great performance By David Gilmour. I loved the acoustic solo at near the end. Thank you for sharing it for me and my mom.

  Lois,

  Thank you for your kind words. I bet that you are a great mother.

  Thank you for the reminders to take care of myself. I am actually doing pretty good at taking care of myself, even though I have had some health scares since she passed. I am checking my vitals regularly, and have brought my blood sugar down to normal with my diet. I couldn't do it with what she liked to eat. No sweets are around the house now.

  I will let you give me that big hug and tuck me in tonight. Your post really touched my heart.

  The house smells of cinnamon from the candle. That is appropriate since she loved cinnamon toast with lots of butter. I hope she is enjoying it. I am not extinguishing it and it will burn until it goes out on its own.

  CoCo,

  I am sorry you have lost your parents. Death is a bitter pill to swallow. Peace to you too.

  I am burning the candle to light her way. I chose the candle with the cardinal because she so loved to watch the cardinals eating the suet that I had in the tree outside the front window. She also loved the mountains and lived in the Smoky Mountains for a while before coming back home to Indiana. So I am glad they chose that scenic box for her.

  Diane,

  I am sorry that your family is having so many health problems currently. The losses are what hurts the most.

  Your husband does sound like an amazing man. I appreciate your kind words about me. I just did the best I could.

  Ruby,

  I brought her ashes home today. I will play it for her. It is going to be a tearful night.

  i awoke in the middle of the night to banging on my door.

  i went to the door half asleep and asked who was there.

  i heard “police.” my dog was going crazy, so i slipped outside to talk to them.

  It is now over a week since the police came. The person that called them has still not contacted me. I believe it was malicious, and that I might need to get a temporary restraining order.
