Chris and I are packing up the car tonight. Headed south to Arkansas in the morning. Meeting up with the rest of the Moss clan and taking Angie home. I'm bringing the thimble from the monopoly game to bury with her. I think she would like that.
I have packed some knitting, the french knot experiment, walking shoes, a raincoat, many bottles of wine, and several boxes of kleenex to tide me over. I think I am as ready as I am going to get.
Safe travels
You will be supported by many who love you and loved Angie. You will be with good people.

No better way to celebrate your dear Mom's life than to be together as a family. Sharing
Stories of joy and pain, lifting glasses, lots of laughter and a cozy fire to keep you warm.
Your time together will be precious and memorable. Angie will delight at your inclusion
Of the "thimble" perhaps a twisty tie or two. Will be thinking about you and your family
And be thankful for my family and out treasured times together, much love, b.

A sad/happy time. You'll revel in stories of Angie that send you into side splitting laughter, followed by memories that make you cry...it's all part of the journey. However you do it is right. Your family will be there to help you through it all. Handwork is such a solace when needed.
Wishing you a safe journey...the thimble from Monopoly is perfect!

Sending love to your gathered tribe as you tuck Angie in, kiss her good night, and walk away----just as she did for her children so many times in her lifetime. Be comforted. Heal slowly. Treasure each other.

sending you many warm hugs, love and thoughts about what it means to say good bye, what it means to fully love someone and knowing that no matter where you are, you will always carry your sweet Mom in your heart; a bond that no amount of time will ever break. Thinking of you all.
