I thought I would bring the people that are interested up to date...Moms funeral went very well, if you can call any funeral going well

WE had a short graveside service because my mom's sister, who is 92, and very frail wanted so much to attend...She is very tiny only about 4'6'" I think..she was never tall ,but as she got older, got shorter..she looks like a tiny doll, and takes baby steps when she walks and eats like a sparrow..I know it was so hard for her to lose mom..They were only 1 year apart and very close..My auint was delighted to see everyone..We went out to a restaurant afterward, and she chatted with everyone..Her eyes shone when she was hugged and kissed by all present

Mom is buried next to Dad and my grandparents in a small country cemetery dating back to the civil war.The day was dark and cold with an icy rain..just the sort of day that mimicked our feelings..My sister and bil were both limping, but were able to walk with some pain and a bit of pain

My bil is in a rehab facility..he has to learn how to breath and walk, before he can think of being released..I am surprised he even made it through his ordeal..he also has that lung problem that is something like the initials c.o.r.p..or something..the poor guy has so many things wrong with him...but he is a survivor I guess..I am not sure he wants to be, with all of the many things wrong with him..but he is
