THANKS TONS AND TONS AND TONS, STORMY,
Your loving, prayerful kind thoughts are deeply felt and deeply appreciated at this time.
Thankfully, am able to truly appreciate that Mother and Step-mom knew God and are in a much better place than we are. Mother loathed the idea of being 1/100th as incapacitated and dependent as she was the last 5 years. It is a blessing to see her relieved finally.
On the other hand, she's been such an incredibly dominant, intense part of my first 18 years and in bits and pieces since . . . it's a whole new world with her passing. Thankfully, I'd shown her as much love and caring as she could receive, more or less in the months leading up to her massive heart attack. Thankfully, I have few significant regrets about that, if any.
Your understanding touches me a lot. Thanks.
Your discernment is particularly fitting and timely.
God will have to repay you for your caring. I'm unable to capture my gratefulness even in words.
God's best to you and yours.
LUB,
BLPH,
