ashes to ashes...

well, last night went pretty much as expected, it's never hard to see your loved one no longer present in their body. in many ways, i was glad she wasn't in her body anymore. she was living a very hard life, and the knowledge that she is now free is comforting. plus, her body did not look like her anyway. seriously, it really seemed like a mannequin (sp). i don't mean that harshly, it just wasn't her. it's a good thing because that is not how i want to remember her anyway.

right now i'm waiting for my sis to come over, she, the hubby and i will drive to the funeral together. the kids will stay with gramma, then the hubby will come get them to go to the reception at rich's house.

i hope it goes as well as is possible - my mom and her brother will both be speaking at the service, i know it will be very hard for my mom, but it is important to her.
