Today I cried tears of joy and sadness. I made a trip to my home town (only an hour away) to see my second Mom Arlene (close friend of my Mom/family). When I got to her house and saw her I literally ran out of the car and hugged her so tight and cried cried cried (these were the tears of joy)!! I hadn’t seen her in 4 years and before that it was 3 years at my Mom’s funeral. 1.5 hours is NOT enough time to catch up with someone you hadn’t seen in 4 years….just incase you were wondering.
When I left her house I went to the cemetery to put some flowers on my Mom’s grave. I don’t know when I’ll be back to do it again so I wanted to make sure I did it one last time. I also put a rose on all my family members graves while I was there. Here is where my tears of sadness came about.
After that I went to the funeral home office to visit my Aunt Mary (she works there). I hadn’t seen her in a while and every time I go to the cemetery I always check to see if she’s working to give her hugs.
It’s so strange leaving the state you were born in let alone leave the state you’ve lived in for 33 years! Although I’m ready for it it’s still hard to leave what you’ve known for as long as you’ve been alive.
I will deeply miss my family and friends but I’m so thankful that facebook will keep us connected. So if your ever in Seattle let me know and we can meet up for lunch or something!.
