Dear Sweet Friends,
Your prayers and loving thoughts were with me every step of the way in what was for me, and all those involved, a journey like no other. One that has no adequate words to express. I felt your love and care comforting me like a warm fuzzy blanket. Angels here in body and those in spirit abounding.My wonderful hubby and I just got back last night from Philadelphia, arranging the funeral and will details and legal stuff, ***Mom's wonderful and beautiful send-off***, the sorting through the archeology of our family life as my brother and I packed up our home (50 years in 4 days!! I'm pooped!). The saying goodby to the little town we grew up in, the knowledge that this was the end of our childhood and the beginning of a new phase of life - one that is unknown and depends upon faith of a new kind. The incredible love, support, and downright Miracles that occurred during this amazing journey are so, oh, I can't express it right now. But I am doing more than fine. I'm riding on a wave of Grace that, well, believe me. This is not bipolar talking one bit. This is transcendance and I know the difference. Don't even know if I can or need to go into more details, but some of them are pretty amazing and I'll get back to you later as I integrate it all.
Right now I'm sooooooo glad to be back home, our 8 little furry kitty family is safe and sound and I'm back to bed to do some healing, finally resting and to continue reading The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Ah, Life. The good, the bad, the ugly. We all are so lucky, blessed to be a part of this journey, even though a long strage trip it's been. Love and thanks so much to all of you. Words cannot express... Later- BarbaraCat
