Posted by Julie on 7/24/2005, 11:49 pm, in reply to "Check in and update" The oddest thing to adjust to has been what tense to use when I talk about her. Past, present, it all sounds wrong. And I catch myself saying things like "I'll have to ask my parents" and then realize that there isn't a plural anymore. The funeral was amazing. My brother read a lesson on trials and grief that my mom wrote for a women's retreat last year. It was so powerful. The church was packed. My mother was truly the most awesome woman I have ever known and I would much rather have my 19 years with her than a lifetime with anyone else. And I think there's enough food in the house to last Dad and I for the next three years.

I'm doing alright... I guess. Mostly right now it just feels weird not having her around. My brother and his wife have been living with us and they just found an apartment. They move out two days before I leave for college. It's like we're all abandoning Dad at once. I hate the thought of him all alone here.
