The last of my family just left to go back home to their lives. My house looks like it was hit by a tornado. There are pictures, flowers and cards everywhere... More leftovers than we could ever eat... There isn't a clean sheet or towel in the place... but I could care less. It was the first time I have been alone since last Thursday afternoon. I got the afghan that was on Mom's couch, had a nice cry and a nap. I'm exhausted but totally overwhelmed by the loving kindness that was displayed by all of my family and friends.
How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
Psalm 36:7 (KJV)
p.s. It's been raining all day (perfect for relaxing). Mom would say this was one of those days when she would stay in her pajamas all day long. That's exactly what I did today!

I came by to visit and read your last few posts about your mama. What a great tribute and how wonderful that she is celebrating with Christ today.
Those everlasting arms! They will comfort you as they hold your family during these difficult days.
