Share your quitting journey
That was sarcasm in case you didn't recognize it! In my many years of being on this earth one of the lessons that I learned is that there is no "normal". So, when people say that now that my sister's Celebration of Life is over we can all get back to our "normal" lives.....I laugh (somewhat in disgust!). I'm back at work today. I will do some of the other routine things that are part of my life. But life as I knew it will never the the same. There will always be the hole where Mary used to call me and talk on the phone, where we did trips together, where we shared the secrets of being sisters and best friends, where we wrote "script" as we people watched.
Service yesterday was beautiful. Music, prayers, rememberances. Pastor joked about Mary and I "getting their praise on", I laughed as I looked at the slide show with a couple of my friends and shared stories of Mary. A lot of hugs, some tears, some laughs. And guess what? I didn't break down during my reading......just a little choke up towards the end.
I did feel the love and hugs of my family here. And I know that if you could have done those in "real life" you would have.
Thank you for all that you do for me.
Knowing that you are all encouraging and holding me accountable is what is getting me to The Door (you know the one....)
