Sunday, 12 October: Today was one of the hardest days of my life. This morning I called Mom to see how she was feeling. She didn't answer her phone. I texted. One hour passed. No response. Two hours, three hours. That's when it hit me. I couldn't text or call my Mom anymore. Her time to pass through the veil was rapidly approaching. I was crushed. I cried more today than I've ever cried. I know I will see my Mother again. I know it! But that beautiful reunion seems so far away.
I'm in Washington, D.C. for work. This afternoon I was able to do a FaceTime call with my three siblings: Sara, Lizzie, and Joseph. We talked about Mom. We cried together. It felt good to talk.
Monday, 13 October: Today is Columbus Day. I worked the holiday and I'm grateful it is a holiday, because nobody was in the office. I could cry when I needed to cry. I was fine when my mind was totally engaged in my work, but every time I took a break to use the bathroom or walk around, thoughts of my dear Mudda came flooding back and the tears came with them.
Lizzie, Dan, and their children drove from California to Utah today. Lizzie spent the final hours of Mom's mortal life by her side. I was able to FaceTime with Lizzie and Dad.
I recorded myself singing and talking to Mom, and I asked Lizzie to play the recording next to Mom's ear. Mom was asleep for the last 2-3 days of her life. She didn't talk to anyone, but it made me feel good to think of Mom listening to my message hours before she went through the veil.
The following three videos make me smile and laugh. Mom had a great sense of humor.
I will miss my Mother dearly, but I take comfort in knowing that I will see her again, and I'm happy she will never again suffer physical pain.
I also know exactly where she is now (the Spirit World), and where she will be at the great Judgement Day (the Celestial Kingdom). This knowledge motivates me to do and be better so that I can live for eternity in the same place where Mom is living.
