Time to change my refrigerator.  The only thing new in the last two years is the MoM magnet I took off of her fridge.

Time to change my refrigerator. The only thing new in the last two years is the MOM magnet I took off of her fridge.

I really didn’t know what to expect as this day drew closer but I guess I wan’t expecting it to be so leveling — like a truck ran over me. Kind of a dull aftershock. As the years go on I’m sure it will be a little easier but for now it’s filled with remembering the sadness we were experiencing last year during the last couple of days.  Mom was trying so hard to be alive. Nothing really made much sense and we were both exhausted beyond relief.

In a more constructive mode I am moving forward by finally sorting out all of the Mom photos and moving the ones taken during her last couple of weeks out of range. I haven’t been able to even look at photos and have realized that the later ones are the worst to see. I have the same photos on my refrigerator that were put there two years ago and even though they are “the best” I still have not been able to look at them. It’s time to edit the door!

The "Mom" bridge at Phoenix Lake. It's a place visit often and every time I cross the bridge I toss a very shiny penny for Mom.

The next thing is to change the cover page of this website so it makes more sense in current times. It will now be more of a family Cyber home for The Railsbacks. Home Page
