 It's been a very difficult time for our family the last few days since my MIL passed away. It's been a really hard adjustment to come to terms with her not being here anymore. Anakin saw and talked to his mom on a daily basis. I never went a few days without talking to her. It's strange to go over to my FIL's and see her stuff but know that she's gone and won't be coming back. She touched many lives and there is a lot of sadness from losing her.
We are planning her memorial and that is taking up a lot of our time right now. Master Anakin has this week off but most of it is being spent on planning a really special memorial for her. It is good to keep busy but there are so many things to remind us of her. I can't imagine the family events without her there.
Thanksgiving is this weekend and we had planned to have dinner with her and my FIL. We had already bought the turkey and all the trimmings. We have decided to go ahead with the dinner although I don't think my FIL will be joining us. This has been especially hard on him.
My birthday is also next week. This is usually such a happy time and my favorite time of the year. This year just feels very sad and different. I'm glad that my MIL has found peace but we all miss her very much. Our family will never be the same again without her there.
I'm not sure when we will be back to our normal blogging with HNT pictures and all the sexy posts. There hasn't been any naughty fun in quite a while. I have had to be the strong one lately with taking care of Anakin and also trying to maintain some type of normal routine in the midst of our grief and sadness. Letting go is a very hard process. I still have some sad days when I miss my Dad a lot and it's been over a year since he passed away. Hopefully he's watching out for my MIL up in heaven.
I saw this poem and it moved me. I wanted to share it with the readers:
Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little - but not for long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me, but let me go.
For this journey that we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all part of the Master's plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss me - but let me go.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful poem. It's been so difficult to lose someone so close. I've kept it together as much as possible, but I must admit it's been a challenge. Keeping busy helps, but some times I can't get her off my mind at all. All part of the healing process, this grieving, and honoring with a memorial service.
~Anakin
I'm so sorry to hear that she has passed away. You will all be in my thoughts and I hope you can all make it through this difficult time and find some happiness with each other, especially this time of the year.

The only way to get life back to normal is to do your normal things..
My love and sympathy's to you both in this time of great sorrow. May your grief be gentle as you morn and find a new way of being without such a great and wonderful source of love and strength to share in your living. Know that love never dies, it keeps the ones we love near always.
So sorry to both of you for your loss. That poem is meaningful & beautiful...
I'm glad to hear your strength and force remain as you keep things somewhat normal for your Master/husband. Hugs!
