But...as I was at the nursing home...breaking the news, to Mom...Judy's Husband, Don called...and said they are going to gather at a restaurant....who ever wishes to come.... and just visit....is welcome.... They didn't want to put me out....I assured him...they weren't...{guess thy don't know how talented I am, at dancing on a razor blade...} Don said...that my offer was one of the nicest things that had happened through all of this...How sweet was that....
I was a little relieved....but... disappointed...as well... I would do anything for Family....{and Friends...}I know I'm not around much...always on the road... but....when push comes to shove... get out of my way...I'll make it happen...and.....I would have made it happen.... with a little help...from the most amazing friends.... and fam.....
I'm relieved for a Big Reason....Mom....she took the news...very hard.... I was heartbroken, for her....I knew it would be this way.... Sister, Merry Jo....wondered why I was waiting.... well... let me tell ya....I Never run towards a Heart Break....ever...
Brother, Larry, doesn't think Mom should go to the Funeral....
Mom wants to go....and...She Will Be There....I have a van lined up, to drop her off...and pick her up....I can't transfer her, anymore....her legs simply say no.... I bought her a nice outfit....and will do her hair and makeup....
It will be a very hard day for her....
I felt a bit of her....leave me...when I told her about Helen....They were so close....when they were Girls....and NOTHING HURTS ME MORE...than to see My Mom... cry....we sat....and wept...together....Mom didn't know I was crying.... she's blind.... I kept talking to her.... reassuring her...about our 'Journey'... but ...oh my... I was broken....{this...is why...I waited...I can't take it...}
I was busy...busy...with folks, today....and Horse issues... {Scout is doing much better}
Whew...what a day....
Love to ya....
