Twice in the past two months I am going to be attending the funeral of women in my exact age range. One was my husband's baby sister, one will be my grandaughter's husband's mom. I loved them both. It is just so strange to go about daily activities like picking out my favorite suit for work, deciding which earrings to wear, drinking a cup of hot tea, going to Subway for lunch, watching the ballgame on tv with the hubby - and realize that these good women won't be able to do the simplest of things again. I haven't once thought about missing anything fancy or expensive or stuff like that, just sitting on the deck and pettng the cat while visiting with the kids, reading a book, taking a bubble bath. It is just so sad. I remember sitting next to Julie in the waiting room when my first great grandson was born (her grandson). We were both just so excitied planning everything we would do to spoil him. Now there are three little guys who will miss her very, very much.

It really hit home when we were at my brother in law's house before the services, visiting. I used the bathroom and saw all of Barb's pretty things, her makeup, hairspray, skincare. It just is hard to grasp that we are here one day and then we are not.

Enjoy your evening, and I mean that. Enjoy your evening.
