The sun will rise and set, the moon will wax and wane, the stars will shine, the birds will sing, as we grieve the passing of Valodya's dear, sweet Mom.
We gather and pray and say our goodbyes.
We will miss her dearly.
Mom is gone but as I wipe away the tears and look around me, I realize that she is still here.
We 'met' 28 years ago and it's been a wonderful relationship thus far. We adjusted to the going away because we had no choice, we knew as soon as she 'came into the light' that this is what would happen. But we never imagined the circumstances that would bring her back home to us, never in a million years. We take care of her and she does for us what she does best- the apple pies are a bonus.
