On Tuesday, Dad, Julie, and I had lunch with my aunts and uncles - Mom's brother and sisters, and my cousin Laurie. It was a great lunch at DeSha's on Montgomery Rd. It was so good to see everyone - and I so felt the love of my mother present in her family. I heard her voice when my Aunt Birdie spoke, and I saw her face over and over again in Uncle Francis, and Aunt Birdie. It was very comforting - 1 year and 1 day after Mom died. We spoke about small things, day to day life, what my cousins are doing, recipes, and how we are all surviving our losses. Oh my word - I felt the love of family surrounding me, and felt at peace.
