Moms one year anniversary

[georgiapeaches]

Hi everyone,
My sister has been handling my moms house, and she called me the other day to say the closing was coming up, she also told me she had the feeling it was going to land right on my moms one year anniversary. My sister was the one who took care of everything, so this is really hard for her. My mom was laid out in the dress she wore to my wedding and then buried on my anniversary, so this really hits home for everyone. I feel like I have lost everything. Yet I am trying to tell my sister that if the closing happens on my moms anniversary, we can only think of it as a gift from my parents. They always looked out for us kids and this was their gift to us. I tried to say it with as much enthusiasm as I could muster up, I dont think she believed it though.

While in the other room my daughter sneezed and coughs her head off, my son is having constant meltdowns lately, its getting more rough by the day, honestly I am at a loss. I guess one day at a time. we will see first when the actual cloing occurs, hopefully I wont sneeze, and my son will calm down.

p.s. my daughter just screamer her temp 100.4 -talk to ya later guys, thanks for listening

Georgia, my thoughts and prayers are with you, and I am glad  you are trying to stay positive in this time of turmoil.  Isn't it strange the signs we receive.  I admire you so much for the support you give everyone on the forum, I hope your daughter feels better soon, and will pray that your son can find some peace. 

My Best to you!

Hi Georgia, hope all is well. Thinking of you and how quickly yet slowly last year went by. Somehow I think you will understand that. I am sending you any strength I can, especially remembering your Mom. Your kids know you love them, I hope you can take some time for you. Sending a big hug, hang in there!

Georgia,
I think your reasoning that if the closing happens on the anversary, it is a gift from your mom, is wonderful.  Sometimes it is not the actual event that it most significant, it is how we choose to view it. 

My husband's mom died suddenly in 2002. He was an only child and she was has last living parent, so he took it quite hard. The following year, on the exact date of her death, his first grandchild was born.  He had been dreading that day but it turned out to be a celebration of a new life instead, and so every year we celebrate our grandchild's birthday along with the extraordinary life of his mother.  I never even got to meet her so it would be easy for us to be sad instead...but everyone has the ability to choose their own perspective. 

Hope the kids are better.  There is an awful lot of stuff going around the schools here.

Thanks again guys I can always count on everyone here to cheer me up, on another note, the school I work in, as of today 94 kids are out sick, its awful, my daughter was out 4 days with 102 fever, no body aches, just the fever, but all these kids are  so sick and we have 3 pregnant woman here, very scary.
