Were called upon to do many difficult things in this lifetime. As many of you know, my family has had more than one tragedy to face & more than its share of tough days. Today is another one of those tough days. Ever since I received the phone call from Jim a week ago, Ive been struggling to come to terms with losing our brother Mike and I have been overwhelmed with the sadness of that reality. We all have places we go for comfort in sad times. Other than my God, Ive always gone to my mother. Like hospice says, death is the end of a life not a relationship. The relationship continues. My mother was always relatively short on sympathy but long on comfort...for me anyway. Since shes passed, when Ive needed her comfort, Ive always asked her for a sign that she is still with us, that all is ok. And it has to be something pretty definitive or Id miss it (mom knows the drill, its not her first time at this particular rodeo) Yesterday I received the msgs from my family that have already passed (all of them, mom, dad, Paula came through). They were clear signs and they made me laugh out loud, lifting the sadness almost immediately. Thats how I knew it was from them. Mike will be fine. I know that for sure. Its his time to exit here and its our job to give him a FABULOUS send off (well do our best) He will be greeted by them and there will be much joy and laughter❤️
