Yesterday Was Awesome!!

Tweet

Mom and I were suppose to see her priest last week but he had to leave on a family emergency out of state and so he wasn't there so instead, we went yesterday and pretty much planned out mom's funeral so that in the event it happens, I'll know what to do. It went really really well and for that I'm very happy! Mom had to go to Lowe's after wards and I went to Hobby Lobby to get some artificial flowers to make a pretty arrangement of winter flowers to put on my coffee table. After I had finished that, I went to see if mom was still at Lowe's and she was so I waited for her in my car which was parked next to her. I wanted to see if she wanted to go to lunch with me. Finally she comes out and agrees to go to lunch so we decided to go where we've been before, "Rock Ola Cafe" for it was really good. We get there and place our order and got to talking. I told her that I wanted to apologize for the nasty remark that hubby had said on the way up to the family gathering at the German Restaurant and she asked what I meant and I told her. Hubby had made the comment that it's too far and it won't happen again. I knew what he meant, which was in two ways and I only told her one of them because the other is just best kept quiet. The one I didn't say was, with her and dad's health like it is, it's best that we go somewhere much closer to home and not three hours drive away. She'll just say, she did fine and she was alright but we know better so it's just best to keep that opinion to ourselves. But what I did tell her was, since hubby's parents passed away, his sister's place has become the focal point now because it seems that all of their brothers and one sister go there but yet, we're only 93 miles from her to the south and they don't come down here at all to see us. They can drive 4 to 5 hours down here to see her but can't drive another 93 miles to come and see their youngest brother? Something's wrong with that! Especially when he was in the army and stationed in Texas, or Arkansas even, we'd drive all the way up to Virginia and then have to drive all over the different counties to get to see everybody while we were there! They couldn't come to us, we had to go to them. It wasn't right but that's how it was. Well hubby gave up on all of them and said, he's done all the traveling that he's going to do now it's their turn to come and see him IF they want to. Mom completely understood and agreed. (This is the funny part!) Then I told her that's why Arizona is looking better and better all the time because the air is really nice and not humid at all but I'd miss my trees! lol But we've been thinking seriously of moving there because nobody comes to see us except them so why not move there?! She says to me "Don't leave while I'm still here" You could've knocked me over with a feather!! I thought I had misunderstood so I asked her to repeat it and she said the exact same words and then said, "I don't want you to leave me here all alone" I told her I had no intention of doing that! No way would I do that to her or dad! She was greatly relieved and she just smiled. Now folks, you know how I've told you mom can flip on a dime, well, the first time I told her about Arizona, she kept telling me "Don't let us hold you two back!" which made me feel so unwanted! But of course, I would never ever do such a thing to them but to hear those words really hurt me big time! But now to hear her say the complete opposite, WHOA!! It truly made me feel so loved and wanted!! I know I was just beaming with the feeling! lol We continued on talking and I finally told her that I needed to bring something up that I don't want to but it's funny once you hear me out. She said go right ahead, so I told her, Remember the conversation we had where I went upstairs so hubby couldn't hear us? and she nodded, and I asked her do you remember when you said, "When we moved down here, I thought we'd have spent more time together"? She said yes, I told her "I couldn't understand what you meant because I had spent EVERY day with you at the hospital with the exception of a few maybe that I couldn't be there and I got to thinking, how much more time does she want from me?!" She laughed like hell!! We both did!! Then I told her that I knew for a long time that she was in and out of it all the time and couldn't remember the majority of it so I understood that but gosh, it just hit my funny bone and hers too once I told her. LMBO!! Now how's that for an update? Tomorrow hubby and I are going to my parents house to cook Thanksgiving dinner there. Mom wants to use her brand new table and chair set that she got three years ago but only been used only once or twice so we're taking all we have up there. Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!! May God Bless You All!!
