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.
