At A Loss

Well I write this post in tears as I have found out that this morning my Mom with Multiple Sclerosis for 15+ years has passed on. I thought I would be able to handle this better knowing that it would happen someday but I find that I am not. I sit here with my sister Sariah who is up visiting and just sobbing away with feelings of joy that she is not confined to a bed with a body that was failing and a mind that was completely well, but I am so so so heart broken that I lost my Mom. It just hurts even though I know that this life is just a short time. I am so thankful for the knowledge of the Gospel. I know she is so much happier and she is walking and talking well. I feel like my eyes have almost swelled shut . I am not sure if I am even spelling anything right , it's all watery. So I just had to inform everyone. The burial will be on Saturday at the new addition to the Pines Cemetery. It's off of Pine's and 32nd in the Valley. The service will be the same day but are unsure of where yet. My mom requested it to be an open service where anyone who wants to , please stand up and share a memory or two. Thanks for your support.

I'm so sad for your family's loss, Eleasha. I wish I could be there to give you a big hug. My Mom will be going to the funeral but my baby's too young to leave and I don't have a passport for him so I can't come. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Eleasha,

It has been a very long time since we have talked, but I feel like I was led to your blog tonight. I know your Mom's death was several months ago, but I have just heard of it and wanted to say how sorry I am for you all. As I was reading your blog posts it made me think of memories of your mother, spending the night at your house, and every time I make banana pancakes I still think of her.

I hope that you are all doing well. I hope you don't mind that I was looking at your blog. :)
