May 2013 - Lines From The Vine

So Very Tired

Too much life going on right now. *smile* Little Miss Meredith just couldn’t make it through church on Wednesday night.

Four weeks ago today. It’s been four weeks- almost a whole month. In some ways, these days have crept along and in others, they’ve went by much too fast. We’ve been working to clean out Mama’s home. We’re almost done. I’ve been on the phone with an attorney, an accountant, and her creditors working our way through these details so…

Updating Posts…

I’m trying to catch up on posts I’ve had written in recent months. Some of these were just so raw, *too real*, I just couldn’t post them on my blog. As I was going through my files this morning, I found them and decided to post them according to the dates when they were written. So, here they are….It’s hard…

We’ve spent the last few weeks cleaning out my mama’s home. It’s been so odd to be surrounded by her things- it’s a mix of sadness and sweet memories.

When I finally fall asleep at night, I dream of my mom….she just looks at me. I wake up feeling so sorry that she’s gone- but knowing she is in a better place, not sick, and not hurting. I miss her. This afternoon, I fell asleep for the nap I’m long overdue for– I’m just so tired. I dreamed I…

I’m not sure my body has ever felt so weary. I lay in bed for long lengths of time thinking over the past months, and especially over the last week and I want to be sick. It’s the most odd feeling to think of this year. January seemed like a fresh year…who would know five months later we would be…

Just an Update….

Just a note- we ARE NOT having our community fellowship in May. I think there is just too much grief, and too much happening right now. I’m thankful that many of you probably already know this and have been so understanding. It seems like too long since I’ve been able to sit and fellowship with you. We ARE planning for…
