Wednesday, April 22, 2009

Dad received a phone call this morning from Franklin Romeo one of the visa waiters. His visa was denied. After waiting all day we heard from Omar Coronel, the other visa waiter. He was also denied. Needless to say, we are quite disappointed. They were not only treated rudely but really weren't even given audience.

Today the obituary was published and seeing it in print was sobering. While we're at the house busily making preparations for the weekend it just doesn't seem real. It feels as though Mom will get home any moment to join the hustle and bustle. The obituary brought the realization that she isn't coming home.

She is HOME. When we think of her we feel celebratory and happy. There is no doubt that she is well and so happy. She successfully completed her mission on the earth. Congratulations to her. We all hope we will do as well.

The difficulty is for those of us still here to not miss her too much and to watch Dad in those inevitable difficult moments where he longs to have her at his side. Today had many of those moments.
