Mary Kay,

I too have been absent from the forum. I'm truly sorry for your loss. I do want you to promise me that you take an entire day for yourself. Before you write all the thank you cards. After the memorial, funeral service, whatever sort of celebration of life your family does but before you tackle all of the other things. Spend a day in bed or in the tub, something recuperative just for you. You have been caring for your Mom for a very long time. You deserve a day of rest. We ladies often just keep pushing and doing for everyone and forget about ourselves. I have officially given you permission to be selfish for one day!

Mel, How kind of you! I have pretty much done just that for the last day or two..just chilling and being a bum. It felt weird not running up to the hospital every day!
We are not having a funeral. She wanted to be creamated and buried in her family plot. We will do that once I get her remains back and my cousins can come back to Florida..there is no hurry.

MaryKay, I haven't been keeping up with a lot of threads lately (kids gone for 2 weeks so I was hibernating with hubby) and just read that your Mom passed. Just wanted to let you know that my thoughts are with you and your family.
