Today marks the end of what I have called "The Year of Firsts." All the firsts one must go through after a loved one dies. I remember reading a fictional book once on how we might respond if we knew that we would be experiencing a "last" with someone. I think we know some of those, but then there are lots we don't know.
My Mom went to be with the Lord a year ago today! The year has gone by fast. I find that I haven't grieved a lot. There was so much relief when Mom died. She was very ill..knowing that with the Lord she is whole and healthy is a great grief reliever! Same for my Dad...I know at times I have felt guilt because I wasn't "consumed" with grief..I know though that whatever grief we feel, go through, etc is ok..My Mom would have wanted us to carry on, because that's how she responded in life. She was one to always carry on!
I wish I could post my slide show, but computer issues are in the way!
I know all who may read this and who knew my Mom know that we lost a classy woman! A wonderful woman! Please know that she truly is in a better place because she had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It's there for all of us..salvation is a gift given to all of us that just needs unwrapping. I know my Mom would want to see all her friends in eternity.
Life goes on. We are having our second grandchild on August 3rd..unless by some miracle Emily goes into real labor fast!! It is a boy who will have a funky name, thanks to his Daddy. He will be named Ravis Allen Maier.
I retired last September from work to recover from the loss of my folks and this past May 27th, I went back to the chiropractic office to take over the billing! Life goes on..it doesn't stop for death, birth...it just goes on!
I pray the Lord's blessing on all who may read this blog!
