Today was the first day mom’s obituary was in the paper. It’ll be in again tomorrow. It was tough to write, but even tougher to see. Another thing that painfully took my breath away.

Jenna’s best friend (and maid of honor) and her husband Russell and their baby, Sawyer, came by in the morning and brought us an entire dinner for tonight. Vegetarian, even! How sweet is that? I have to admit putting together food the last few days has been difficult. We’ve had friends want to get together for dinner, but the idea of sitting in a restaurant sounded awful.

We went to the Olive Garden for lunch today (God, how I hate that food!). We needed to tell Mom’s friend Jean in person. She has battled and overcome several different cancers in her life and when she found out about mom’s brain cancer, she was devastated. I knew she wouldn’t take the news of her death well and I was right…..tough lunch.

I hope to get a date set for the celebration of life in the next few weeks, and will post it here. I thought about doing it by mail but mom had very few addresses written down. So that would be hard.

Tyler will most likely move in to moms house soon. He is taking her death very hard and I think moving in won’t be that easy for him. We’ve also talked about how the Thanksgiving weekend will go….it being mom’s 82nd birthday and all. We may just get out of town for that weekend. Dinner for the 3 of us seems SO depressing. The things you think about.
