Nick C Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I tried to post yesterday, and everytime I started I fell apart. We bought a small garden statue yesterday...an angel. When we went back to Mom's house the day she died, she had a sign on the front door which my wife pointed at. It said "in the garden". She loved the garden. We think that's where we'll "find" her. So we found a temporary spot for the angel, but when spring comes we'll move her to a more permanent spot surrounded with flowers (no yellow flowers, blue and purple and ones that smell nice). Damn I miss her. I'm basically writing all this here because a day like yesterday would have ended in a call to Mom to tell her all the work outside I did. I miss being able to make that call. Mom, I miss you, this has been the longest month of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treebywater Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Nick... I remember one month. It felt like it had been so very long... and it was really only the beginning. And it just hurt. I know your Mom would have loved, and indeed I believe DOES love your garden. Thinking of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Garden Angel sounds very fitting. Can't wait to see pics of it surrounded by all those beautiful flowers in the spring. Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martha02 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 the first months felt like a yearlong. Hang in there. After 10 months I still find myself trying to pick up the phone and calling her. I can tell you after 10 months the pain it still there but you can tolerate it. I know it's hard, I am speechless, I wish I could say something to take your pain away. One thing I did find helpful the first few months was all the times I wanted to call her I would just write to her. Hug to you!

Mskim Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 (((Nick))) My heart has flipped and dropped so many times even after 6 months, I know just where you are. It is a hard road we are walking. My mom loved her garden too, and when there was no answer at the front door I would walk around back and there she might be with her face in the sun. Oh what I would give to go back to that yard. Hugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Nick, I think placing the angel in your mom's garden was a perfect thing to do! Sometimes, after losing a loved one, we just seem to "know" what special thinks to do. I think your Mom was guiding you through this one!!!
