    What a lovely picture. You look like you're in love, the deep, real kind of love. It's beautiful when you see it. Congratulations.

    It's been a couple of weeks of the highest high and now the lowest low. My mom passed away a little while ago. I loved her so much and will miss her always.

    Oh, Pax! I'm so sorry to read about your mom. I am glad that she got to see you so happy, though. Hold your good memories close, and may they provide you some comfort in the days ahead.

    Hugs.

    Thank you, everyone. I think I'm just kind of numb now. Once I get past the funeral on Thursday I'll take some time to breathe. She has needed me so intensely the last six years I'm not sure how to be without her.

    I couldn't have said this any better than SheFly just did. Me too, Pax.

    I am sorry Pax. I felt numb when my mom died, even though she was very ill for a long time and I definitely prepared myself. I remember being in the grocery store and feeling numb. But, after the funeral, that went away. I guess that's why we have funerals. People thought I was "cold," because I wasn't hysterical and I went right back to work, but that's what my mom would have wanted. I guess what I 'm trying to say, is that everyone is different in this situation.

    So sorry Pax. You have definitely been on an emotional rollercoaster lately, both the highs and the lows. I'm happy for you in that you have your dear, new wife to help and support you through this very difficult time. But your loss is great, and you will need to take your time to grieve. It took me a long, long time to feel normal after losing my dad. I am so dreading going through it again when my mom passes one day.

    Seriously frustrated with our internet and phone. Of course given the lack of competition in both areas nobody really cares that half of my phone calls get dropped and the other half have such bad connection you can't hear. Dread the thought of more costs but we may have to consider the antique land line... The classic customer response seems to be "it sucks to be you"
