yesterday i received a phone call. i didn't recognize the number so i let it go to voicemail. it was science care. i can't remember if i mentioned or not that for as long as i can remember my momma wanted to donate her body to science. i was so happy when i found this organization. they have been amazing and i 100% recommend them if you or your loved ones are interested in donating your body to research. anyway...the message was letting me know that they were shipping out a very special package and it should arrive within 7-10 days. i wasn't ready for that to be the message. i'm not ready for my momma's ashes to come home..
today was the first trip to the pharmacy since she passed. i was at the pharmacy at least once a week - normally more than that. i was there so often that i never had to give my last name, they all knew which prescriptions i was there to get. they were already told about my mom passing and i knew the first trip was going to be hard. everyone expressed both their sympathy and shock. it was amazing to see how much my momma touched people she never even met. well, it shouldn't be.. because she was amazing. but, it never gets easier to relive and retell the events that occurred.
tomorrow marks a year since the demon's first surgery. i didn't imagine having such mixed emotions. we plan to celebrate by doing yard work, working on the dreaded pool, and going to the movies. sounds fun, right?
oh yeah, and i made cupcakes.
