REOPENING MY BEADWRIGHT ETSY STORE

Hi Everyone!

My days are getting better..... well not really.... just keeping busy so I don't think too much. Part of being busy is getting my Beadwright store and website up. The site will be up and running by Jan. 1, 2015 but I think today I will reopen my Beadwright Etsy store. I am announcing that I will only be taking credit cards, debit cards, gift cards, personal and business checks and US postal money orders through my Beadwright Etsy store. Just a few of the changes I am making for 2015. 

I don't actually make New Years resolution, I do reflect on the previous year and wonder how I could make the next year better. For me being more tolerant with family members and not being so hard on myself. That sounds good for now.

Going through boxes of photos my mom had,  I found this one of me with my babies.I was 20 years.

It is an old Polaroid

And 42 years later is my Granddaughter and her baby girl.

Born this year.

It 's a beautiful circle isn't it?

Hello Everyone!

Well yesterday was full of tears and on the phone ALLLLLLL day. As a lot of families mine is scattered all over the country. Thank goodness for unlimited talk and text. LOL 

I did make turkey dinner yesterday and ate way too much. Trying to find my humor. That is what my mom would want. She laughed every day and made me laugh too.

Why is it that the day after Christmas

 I feel like this.

 When I would really like to be doing this

 Actually in my mind I see me doing this

Wishing all of you a great day!

I AM HOME

Hi Everyone!

It has been a long month for me but I am finally home. It feels strange and I am still a bit off center but with time and keeping busy I will get back in the swing of things. I will be taking care of mom's house and other things from here. My nephew is staying at mom's house until we sell it. Hey anyone want to buy a house in OR? LOL 

So today I am thank you all of you again for the warmth and caring emails, comments and cyber hugs.

From Mike and I we wish you all the very nicest Christmas and the best ever 2015.

JUST A NOTE

Hi Everyone!

 

Just a note to say thank you again for all the kindness shown to me and my family with the passing of my mom. Closing one's life is a heart sick ordeal, especially when it is your mom. I am keeping strong with the help of my brother who is here with me. Packing up the little things of her life tears at me and then I cry. She was my best friend, my everyday world, and she will be in my heart for ever.

If you can hug your mom today.

MIRACLE OF A MOTHER'S LOVE

Hi Everyone!

 

Ohhhh thank you, thank you, thank you. I can not tell you how comforting all of your comments and emails are this morning. For my long time readers you know how close my mom and I were. So as horrible as it was yesterday I am honored to have been able to make sure my mom's wishes were carried out. Mom knew my brothers and I were there. We all made sure she heard our loving words and just before her last few breaths, with the strength of a mother's love she said, "I love you"  Very shortly after that she was on the other side dancing with my brother and sister.  I am not quite sure how to conduct my life right now. 9 AM was the first phone call of the day between mom and I and I am wondering how that is really going to effect me when I return home.

I tell my friends this a lot, having lost so many family members in the last 5 years, to be sure to tell the people around that you love them, how they matter in your life. It is important.  So to all my cyber friends near and far and to those who I see in real time. Thank you for your thoughtful and loving concern for me and my family. Thank you for the humor, and sharing, and the joy of knowing you. Our world has changed so much to this screen and key board before me, but with out it I would not have the pleasure to meet and on a limited basis know all of you. I send my love to all of you!

END OF LIFE

Hi Everyone!

 

I am sorry I have not been able to keep you updated on my mom or to answer your wonderful emails. Several days ago my mom took a turn for the worse. It has been an emotional....hhhmmmm let's be honest here, It has been the worst week of my life. My brothers are here now and today we are ending mom's life. Meaning we are taking her off of life support. Those words seem so unreal to me.

I have whispered in mom's ear of all the lovely things you have written to us. The words of encouragement, the prayers, the funny get well cards that mom likes so much. Thank you to every one for just being here for me and my mom. This will be the worse day.

My mom loves this painting.

 

I will write soon
