We are under a winter storm warning here...the first of the season! We are forecasted to receive anywhere from 1 to 12 inches of snow. You read that correctly...that is exactly what the local meteorologist told us at the 5:00 news! It all boils down to at what point the freezing rain/sleet turns over to snow. Regardless, I am optimistic there will be a snow day tomorrow. My family could certainly used some unscheduled down time.
I went and visited my mom again today. I am trying to make sure that I see her once a week or so. She is an incredibly strong person, and I know that she is surrounded by friends and family, all of whom are very supportive. But I want her to know that I'm here too, and I am enjoying sharing memories of Dad.
I think we both had a bit of a rough day. She is mired in the chores/errands that are required in terms of delivering death certificates, etc. I just sometimes don't know how I'm supposed to feel about things. I visited the cemetery, and was somewhat sorry that I did. My faith tells me that my Dad isn't really there, and yet the thought that he was buried under that pile of dirt made me want to vomit. I think it will be easier as grass grows over it and time has passed.
Since we've known this storm is coming, I got LOTS of Christmas shopping done this week. I am almost completely done and am looking forward to moving onto wrapping and enjoying the season!
