Thank you all

I am typing with tears in my eyes and shaky hands. Thank you, thank you and thank you all.

It is gorgeous. It says more than you will ever know. I just opened it a bit ago, and just showed it to Rick.

Finally I have a quilt on my bed, and it is a wonderful RCTQ hugg. It is very green, and colorful with yellow and red roses, butterflies and a wonderful Santa Claus too.

When Mother passed away last year it was rough. It is still rough and there are times I wonder how to manage. Especially with the other situations happening right now. So I really appreciate the thoughts, and the physical representation of them.

I really haven't cried about Mother until today. It seems as if this gesture finally has released a wall inside me.

Thank you so much.

And may I ask for continued good thoughts for the next couple of weeks. I hate asking after this, but ......... I have a Social Security Disability hearing scheduled. It is on the anniversary of Mother's death. Since I lost the SSI and accompanying AHCCCS ( Arizona's Medicaid) I have had to cut out meds or cut them way back and get some from other people (I know, not the best way, but better than none at all, sigh) I really need a positive outcome at the hearing so that I can get life back on track.

Again, thank you all. You are a wonderful family to be a part of. Yes I am somewhat incoherent at the moment. I am overwhelmed with so much emotion.

Oh, Pati... I remember losing my mom in '99. I'd been losing her for years to Alzheimer's so didn't dream I'd grieve as much as I did. And it sort of hit in waves out of the blue over the next few years.

Tears are healing, even when they feel unwanted and inconvenient, so now that the wall is broken, try to let them come when and where they will.

What timing for the hearing. Oy. But maybe somehow your mom's spirit will be especially present then.

Our health system is such a shambles. Terribly unnecessary waste in some areas--and then no benefits when/where they're often most needed.

What's the date/time of the hearing? And when will you know the outcome?

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
