Healing and Moving on...

Buffy, Diane, Jane, Rachel, Theresa and Yael...thank you for your love and prayers and hugs to every bloomin' one of you. when i saw your comments and faces, i smiled, giggled and trembled with tears...good tears. you all have helped me be more at peace. i love each of you dearly...oh, theresa, you wondered where i went, heh heh, not far, just low :). XOXO

here is a sunrise, at mom and dad's before mom passed away. mom ALWAYS became EXCITED over sunrises and sunsets...



this is mama, under my sister candy's hands, while she lay dying...i never thought this would be this hard, but she left a legacy of 8 loving siblings, and flew to heaven on 9/11/11. taking photos of this you say...i know, it seemed weird at first, but then it seemed nothing but right. my dad even asked me to run in his room and take a pic of my sister carolyn who had fallen asleep next to moms head...no more words...





how could you not love this attire?







this is dad, he did a lot of gazing out the window, while mom lay dying in the next room.







he sang to her, prayed over her, gave her kisses and permission to go. he took such good care of her till the bitter end, like a loving angel. he says he's a survivor now, but only half a man. the father of 8 children, he is so special to us.
Mom died on 9/11/11

There will be a celebration of life on 9/30/11
i can garantee mom will be present, her 8 children and family were her

TOP PRIORITY.


A HAPPY WEEKEND TO YOU ALL

XOXOXO
WANDA

    your words, such tender words....I felt lie I was holding my breath, then I did breath a shakey one.

    I remember when my mom passed on, I oculdn't believe it, it didn't seem possible as it was very sudden, and besides her attitude has always been "You just Have to Get Over it" well I thought, you know what I thought.

    You will be in my heart and mind now for sometime, you are often anyway. I love the outfit, Vogue could not of done better. Your art and sunrise so perfect.

    Sometimes there aren't any words. I'm not going to say the things people usually say when a loved one passes. I'm just gonna sit here in the silence with you, and hold your hand.

    I love you, and my heart breaks for you right now. Even though you've been bracing yourself, just as I did last year, it is still the hardest thing to do..watch your Momma die.

    Wanda, hope your feeling love and at peace today. About the enlarging, see that very tiny white writing at the left when you have clicked on a photo, clck on that tiny writing and things get large. Honestly seems like someone oculd of told us, it takes some time to figure this stuff out.

    Expect to feel unsettled for a while, sort of like wanting to go someplace then wanting to go home when you get there.
