Prayers and goood thoughts wanted

I thought I coud read and make a few replies here today. I did get to write a follow up on a message of someone's kitty, a conversation I was in, what now feels like a lifetime ago but I know was only a few days. A few moments of life is ok before the rush of reality set in. Funny how that happens in the early moments after waking.

My grandfather has passed away. He was 91 and still deeply in love with my grandmother who left this world 7 years ago. His loneliness is now ended because they are together again.

Please pray for strength for my mom. She has lost her husband and her father in less than two months time. She has lived the last several years being the primary care giver of both of her men. They wanted for nothing. I'll be going to help her move some things from grandpa's house back to her home later today, and probably for the next several days.

Somehow it still feels like grandpa is there, in the house he built. I think he's watching over us now.

I hope what I've written is readab;e because I can't really see the screen right now.

-------------------------------------------------- I'm sorry for your two recent losses. I know how you feel about grandpa still being in the house.

My grandfather built the house I grew up in, it was a 3 generational home. Both my grands and both my parents died while I was a teenager, but I drive by the house every once in a while when I get nostalgic and I can still picture Pepere sitting in his rocker with his spittoon by his side (stinky old thing, but he was a tobacco chewer).

My aunt finally sold the house last year and the new family painted it the most obscene shade of kelly green. It used to be gray with white trim, very conservative. Now when I drive by, I picture Pepere walking back and forth, fuming at the new color choice.

Cherish all the great memories.

Sincere condolences, Debra. This is such a difficult time for those who are left. Your Mom is going to feel bereft. I hope you'll be able to find comfort together. Don't push yourselves too hard with the clearing up. I found that my whole body was tense after my father had died; and when I was clearing up, I actually passed out - for quite a long time. Very scary. So do be careful and don't do more than you feel quite capable of doing - and watch your Mom doesn't either. It is not a situation where we can do as much as we usually do. Take care. .

That sure is a whole lot of heartache in such a short time, and certainly enough to overwhelm anyone. Heartfelt condolences to your family< Debra, and prayers and calming thoughts to your mom.
