Even though you know it's coming, there's nothing that prepares you for how you will feel when it happens. And boy do the feelings run the gamut. The business end of it is a bit stressful, but I found that people have been so kind every step of the way. I was telling Paul today that if everyone treated everyone as gently as I've been treated, even by folks at utility call centers, since my mother's death, the world would be a much kinder place.Laurie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15840896949617719814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-46094976463291975862010-01-11T11:50:59.822-08:002010-01-11T11:50:59.822-08:00Looks like Tony is the man to call when you need p...Looks like Tony is the man to call when you need painting.

I am struggling with the thoughts and words to express my feelings and to sort out his life in my mind in a way that makes sense and lets me cherish it.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. It helps to see others coping with the journey I am now taking.<br /><br />Oh yeah, I hate the forms and the calls too.Ancotihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11867701557331682926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-26647002767721526622010-01-11T03:32:41.783-08:002010-01-11T03:32:41.783-08:00Thanks for letting us visit in your home, Laurie. ...Thanks for letting us visit in your home, Laurie.
