Journaling: I took this picture of my mom and dad the day before we buried her. It would be the last time my dad was able to hold her hand and look into her face. I cannot express with words his sadness nor the grief that would follow in the days to come. Although I didn't realize it at the time, my father was burning my mothers' image into his mind and heart. How do you say goodbye to someone with whom you've shared fifty years? Years filled with the happiness of raising children & their children, of holidays, anniversaries and the joys of everyday life. Years also filled with the sadness of burying two of their children and one grandchild who died at 16. Years of facing many obstacles including the illness that eventually took my mom's life. Yet, they faced all of those good and bad times together. How do you move forward and try to put an entire life behind you when that life is what you lived for? I cannot imagine how my dad felt then, nor how he feels now without my mom at his side. I can however, express how much I admire his bravery when it came her time to go and how proud I am of him for keeping his promise to her to live his life to the fullest. Until they meet again...
