Still here

[mamagotcha]

I've decided to stay out in California for the week between now and the memorial. There's too much to be done. So Clay and Linc will fly out here Saturday with my laptop (and some more clothes).

It's all a whirl... so many tiny details, but they're all slowly coming together.

Virtual hugs to Paul and Lorraine as they prepare for Edith's memorial tomorrow.

Thank you, everyone, for your emails and phone calls and kind wishes. I'm sorry I'm not able to respond better... I've got very little 'net access here, and my phone doesn't work. I've been able to read and listen to them all, though, and they all bring calm and peace to my chaotic days here. I'm am so grateful for your help and support and kindness.

Glad you are still here. Our thoughts are with you.

FYI, my phone rarely got signal inside the house, but almost always worked on the front porch and in the garden, and received calls just fine when I left it on the back of the couch by the window.

Hey hun. Sounds like you are doing ok. I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts as well. I hope all goes smoothly with you and yours in this trying time.

And, I understand about difficult parents and missing them in spite of themselves. My mom was a wonderful strong person in many ways, and she is one of the women that I admire the most in my life, but she was a horrible mother and probably shouldn't have ever had a child. But I still managed to cry buckets of tears when I lost my mommy.

I won't be back in town until Sunday or Monday but if there is anything I can do from KC to help you while you're there please let me know. My thoughts are with you. (((hug)))
