Mother died today. She was 87. I do not have any pictures to post at this time. It has been 19 1/2 years since I last saw her. It is a long and difficult story so I won't go into that. The last time I talked to her was after Daddy's funeral 6 years ago. They were divorced.
She was a talented and intelligent woman. Driven. Hard. Difficult. Really smart in some things. A good cook.
She is gone now. All conversations are ended. No bitterness or tense emotion on my part. I accepted her as she was. I pray she has found the peace that I have so long desired for her. I cannot give it, but I can pray that she finds it.
May you also find peace in this and have some memories of the good times that once were.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great tragedy when families are estranged...an even greater one when life ends with no resolve. May this journey ease your mind and give you strength.
