Mother's Day without her

This was my first mother's day without my mother. I took fresh flowers to the cemetery on Saturday. It was very surreal to see the headstone with her name included. I felt like I needed to go somewhere all day Sunday. The day felt incomplete. I know she is in a better place and strong again. She knew her time was short but I really don't think she was ready to say goodbye. Maybe that is why it's hard to believe she is gone and I still cry sometimes.

    I can't imagine how life is for you. Your routine has changed with Mary Lou's passing. I imagine her looking down upon you saying " Thank You " for making her feel safe, happy and peaceful while on this earth. I know I speak for the other 7 when I say "Thank You". Mom was able to live life on her terms and accept death with grace and dignity because of you. With love, E,J,M,K,T,R,D,and W
