Ive been trying to keep busy and not think about whats going on .. fortunately there is so much to do prior to Mondays funeral services for my Mom, the keeping busy part has been easy. Whats tough is when there is a lull (stoplight, waiting room, eating) - thats when the damn breaks and it hits me that Mom is gone forever. Of course I try to fight the tears, but, Im told its necessary to let them flow. Just difficult to drive when youre sobbing out of control. However, I have been presented with a task thats even more difficult. Ive been asked to deliver a 2-3 memorial speech about my Mom at the beginning of Mass. Fr. Des suggested someone else read it but I declined as I consider it the ulitmate honor. Reading it wont be the hard part. The hard part will be trying to condense all the great things my Mom has done or has meant to me into two minutes. I really need two days, maybe two months, to do that. Yall can start your betting now as to at what second mark I tear up, but I owe it my mom to do this and think of it as a once in a lifetime opportunity to say goodbye. I will strong. Then after the Mass and entombment, all bets are off and I might just cry for a week. Remember, the funeral Mass is Monday at 10:30am at St. Peter Chanel Catholic Church in Roswell, GA.
