I would like to apologise to everyone who has been reading this blog for the long silence. I realise it is well over a year since I last posted.
My mom passed away on 23 February 2007, after several difficult months for both of us, and now I'm picking up the threads of my life..... I'd like to carry on with this though, because I realise from your comments that it struck a chord with quite a few people, and if it can be of any help to others, then the effort has been worthwhile.
At the time I last posted, I already had some entries prepared ahead, because I'd been writing things down as they occurred to me in advance, so what I'll do is carry on from my last post, and when that's up to date, then I'll finish the story and gather my thoughts.
I'd just like to say that my mom's passing brought to me an incredible peace. I haven't grieved in any distraught sense of the word, and while I feel a little ashamed of this, a friend hit the nail on the head when she said, "Well, you probably did all your grieving over the last 10 years." That would be oh so true.
In the next few days, I'll carry on with the story.
