Dear Friends, and especially RJ and Steve,
My Mom passed away the day after Thanksgiving. I wasn't going to post about it, but after checking in on CCB today, and seeing that Steve has lost his Grandmom, and just a few weeks ago, RJ lost his Grand-dad, so I guess it is true, bad things come in three's.
Sometimes I think the loved ones who pass on hollidays, are those who have the greatest wish to always be near to us, eventho it may seem harder for us at the time, to lose them right on, or near a special day. But, having lost my Dad in 97, on Memorial Day weekend, over the years that holliday has taken on a special meaning for me, and I find that it has become a time of year when I feel very close to him, and I experience very intense memories of him during that time, as I am sure I will in the future on Thanksgiving, about my Mom.
Anyway, I just want to say to RJ, and to Steve, that every Thanksgiving I am sure I will also think of each of them, and that I hope that they will have the same feelings about their special ones, which I have about my parents, that they had a wonderful, long life, and that they each made all their dreams come true, and they were very loved by all.
Friends truly are the best things in life, and yesterday I received beautiful flowers from our CCB sweetie, Carol in NY, and it is funny, she didn't even know when she sent them that I had lost my Mom, but it really doesn't surprise me, the coincidence, I mean, because there is something special between us, and I knew that the first day I met Carol. Thank you for being my friend, Carol, and I really love you kiddo.
I am very happy to know that my Mom and Dad are together again now, and nothing hurts them anymore, all the aches and pains are gone, and that they had so much goodness in their time here. What more can one ask for than a life well lived.
I hope that each of you will have a wonderful Christmas, and that you will all rejoice in the memories of those loved ones who have gone to a better place.
Here's to "Rose lipped maidens, and light foot lads"
Love,
Gayle in Md.
