We had the memorial service last night and the internment tomorrow morning. I think I've managed to reach some kind of peace with her over these past few years as I had 2 hours of many people telling me that I am the spitting image of her long ago.
At one time that would have been offensive but no longer. She was a beautiful woman who was deeply broken as a small child. Well, she has left all of that behind now, along with the horrible cancer pain, and her final 2 days were very peaceful.
Thank you for the kind words, thoughts and prayers.

What you said about your mom will make my difficult work a little bit easier today. It really resonated with me.
