on Wednesday August 23rd. Purple and Lavender was her favorite colors and it was amazing at how many people just showed up in something with purple or lavender. I do believe things happen for a reason. Mom passed way 8 days before her 73rd birthday, which was this past Saturday. No matter where I went, what I did, or what I was watching, those colors turned up We buried her with a knitted blanket in purple, lavender and white. I was watching a TV show that had a blanket on it in the exact same color scheme and design in the scene. Low and behold, I get to work today and after we had finished a class I was taking them from one building to another when a Weiner dog just showed up at the school doors and walked right up to me. Mom had a weiner dog that died 3 years ago. I told my principle that if she'd let me I'd take the dog home right now. She let me and I did. I believe mom was talking to me Saturday and today and I welcome it. I lost my dad in 2005 and we were really close and losing him hurt bad. But I'm telling you that losing your mother is a whole new level of pain. Anyone who still have parents living should spend all the time you can with them and don't make excuses like I did sometimes, because if you don't you're gonna play that coulda-woulda-shoulda game. You'll do it anyway, but the point is, spend time with them, and alot of it. Below is the play list of songs that my sisters and I put together for moms funeral music. If you're so inclined feel free to look em' up on youtube.
