I'm gonna have to look for that book that splains stuff about life at sea in the Aubrey-Maturin novels. Some things just make me scratch my head and go HUH?

Just got a call from my younger sister that my Mama went home to the Lord tonight. I'm sad that she's gone, but happy that she has been released from the mental pain of the Alzheimers that claimed her for the last 7 years. I'll miss her, but I've been missing her for the last couple of years because she just hasn't been 'there' like she used to be. I know she's happy now, though, cause she's with her loving God and my Daddy and her family and friends who have gone before are there to greet her, and that's the most important thing.

I'll be flying home early Friday morning; I have a commitment to Clare's Girl Scout troop tomorrow, and that's important to me. I know Mama would understand, and there's nothing that I need to be there for tomorrow anyway. They're planning a Friday night wake and Rosary and a Saturday funeral. I'll stay until late Sunday, or maybe even Monday to visit with the family.

Please keep me in your prayers for a safe trip!
