In reply to the discussion: The strangest and most beautiful thing happened today at mom's funneral. [View all]niyad
(128,215 posts)58. (((((((((((((she)))))))))))) Thank you so much for sharing your mom's wonderful
        visit with us. It is obvious that she loves you so very much. She will always be with you.
The day after my mom's funeral, I was fixing dinner for my father. I went to the pantry for something, and when I came around the corner, she was standing at the stove, where she had stood thousands of times. She smiled at me, briefly, but it was enough. She loved roses, and every once in a while, some random person will give me one. I know they are from her.
I promise you, dear friend, it does get easier. Your DU family is here for you.

        Sheesh - I heard my dad's voice, announcing himself like his answering machine message did.
