 Another emotional day (I’ve had my share lately, lol). Mom’s ashes were laid to rest this afternoon. I’m so thankful my husband is off on Monday because I don’t think I could have gotten through this without him. It was just, Rick, Dad and me. Dad had chosen several prayers, and asked me to read one. Well, I got about 1/4 of the way through and couldn’t continue, so I handed it to Rick. He read for a bit until he teared up, and I finished. It was a beautiful prayer and I’m glad Rick and I got to share it.
The birthday gift my daughter gave me (pictures of my mother and me) added to my emotional state, but the words she wrote in the card she gave me touched my heart so deeply. That card is going to be taped to the back of the framed pictures. 
To top things off, my son sent me a book from one of my favorite authors. What a day! đŸ™‚
