Kim, I just saw this today. I am sorry for the loss of your mother. I know how hard it is to lose a parent. I pray that you can find comfort in knowing that she is healed and whole now. I pray for your Dad that he will find the comfort he needs from friends and family at this horrible time in his life. I pray also for your brother and the rest of your family and friends who have lost so much from their lives with your mother's passing. May you each find comfort in the wonderful memories you have of her.

THANK YOU EVERYONE...I am finding comfort in all the love and prayers. It gives me the strength to begin another day. We are staying busy right now with arrangements and things. I know that after all this stuff is through and we start to go through the business of "cleaning" things up and beginning "real life" anew, it will become difficult. As long as I stay focused on the blessing, I think I can make it though. Lots of decisions to make and be made. Still trying to find one item that my mother wanted her younger brother to have. I couldn't sleep so decided to visit the forum....it feels good to something "normal". But I will be popping in from time to time....just helps me tremendously!! Saw some chatter about the Silver Bullet on the MTC forum! YAY!!! Get them talking about it!!!

Glad you took some time for "normal" hon!

Continued good thoughts and prayers for you!

Kim I am really happy to see you can have some normal time. I know it is hard. After my dad died my mom was just lost, I know what you are going thru. Keeping you in my prayers.

[Gigi]

Goodto see you, Kim. Sending lots of love and hugs......

Oh Kim, I just saw this. I am so sorry. Prayers and hugs to you and your Dad. We found our Mom the exact way 12 years ago, she lived alone and it was several hours before anyone found her, so I know the heartbreak you are going through.

[Retta]

Hugs and much love!

Kim, nice to see you pop in. Being with friends seems to take your mind off other things. We are all here for you.

Sending hugs!

Kim, I am so sad to read your post. I will be keeping you in my thoughts, and your dad as well. The first thing I though as I read it was of all your posts about your wonderful relationship with your mom. I'm sure you will miss her tremendously.

[kim]

Well, today we said our last goodbyes. I'm tired and exhausted. But I have to say that the love that has been surrounding us has sustained us through the days. It was so AMAZING. I can't even begin to share with you all the things that God has done to prepare us, but so many things happened in the last months and weeks, that was too much to be coincidence and had to be a higher being at work. Our trip to Alabama, the 4th of July family cookout that I almost didn't attend, a dream that my uncle had ....he dreamed that he was somewhere in the clouds and opened up a door...inside stood my Korean grandmother. On a bed was my mother, clutching a blankie and her eyes were closed. Mom opened her eyes and then he woke up. He called my mother that morning and talked to her for over an hour. That was unusual as he didn't like talking much and NOT on the phone. My mother commented on it last week how unusual it was and how happy she was to talk to him. It rained today....stormed. But while we were going to the church, it quit. Then during the service, it stormed. As it was time to go to the cemetary, it quit. It started back up after we got to the church where lunch was being served. While inside, it stormed even more. It was as if God was preparing us and letting us say our goodbyes, yet we didn't realize it at the time. So, yes, it will be hard in the days, months and years to come because we loved her so much, but I have a blessing that few others will ever have. (The blankie....Uncle didn't know this but Mom always had a little blankie, one of DS's baby blankie that he never used, but she liked to keep it in the car for when she got a little cold. She's had that thing for 15 years. So we buried it with her, along with the Mother's day, birthday and anniversary card that I made her this year, as everyone was saying she showed everyone the cards. I never started making cards until I got my Cougar. So know that we are going to be fine...sad, but fine. I have never in my life felt so much of God's presence as I have in the last few days. No, in the last few months...I just didn't always recognize it.

[Gigi]

Oh Kim - what a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing it. And you are so right - there are so many ways God is present in our lives that we just don't see at the time. I hope and pray you continue to feel His presence and all of the love that surrounds you in the days ahead. We miss you and are here for you when you are ready.

Love, Gigi

[rachellann]

Kim reading your post had tears in my eyes, Bless you and your family in the days ahead.

[kim]

Well, I may not get much crafting done in the days, weeks, months ahead but I will be on the forum more now that things are settling down. Just will be filled with helping dad and all the "stuff" that we will need to do. But, honestly, as all the friends and family gathered and talked, we found more and more things that showed us that HE was at work. I only told you a few of the stories. There were SO many. I had chill bumps from all the "coincidences" that were happening. And I am in such AWE that He would bless us this way.
