Gwen763's Journal

I went to the cemetery yesterday and cleared away all of the dead flowers left over from the funeral---it was a mess. I will be glad when Spring comes and the ground dries out, right now it's just mud and that's hard to look at. I don't know where you get those vases that stay at the grave site permanently but I do need to find one. I want my mom to have flowers on Mother's Day, and her birthday. They have not come and put her date of passing on the headstone yet, I guess it has been too cold and icy. It's a pretty place, peaceful. That was nice. There is a little bench just across from the headstone. It was good to just sit there and reflect. I know my mom is not "there", she is everywhere I am, but her earthly body is there and it felt good to be close to her again.
