Honoring Mom

My dear sweet mom passed away yesterday evening.  She was truly an amazing woman, and like I said in my last post, the mom everyone wishes they had.  My sister posted it on facebook last night and there have already been almost 100 comments - she touched so many lives.  I think I am still numb.  I drove down to Port Charlotte last night and spent last night and today with my family, so I'm really glad we have each other.  My Dad had tons of phone calls today along with people stopping in and just letting him know how much they care - it was really very special.  My sister, Christy, and my Aunt Deb and I decided to go out for dinner since my Dad was wanting to watch the news and I think get a little peace and quiet, and we had the nicest time together just being with each other.  My friend Holly said she can tell it hasn't hit me yet, and I know she's right, so I'm giving myself permission to ramble here if I want or even talk about something else if I would like.
Speaking of talking about something else - we had something happen earlier in the day yesterday that was really very nostalgic and sweet for us.  The whole reason we started this blog was to chronicle our escapades in the RV. Right before we left 4 years ago, a nationally syndicated TV show called Daytime had us on their show to talk to us about our plans.  Well last year they contacted us and told us they wanted to do a "Where are they now" segment and wanted us to come back for the show.  So we taped a segment last September and then actually forgot about it.  Well, it finally aired, of all times, yesterday morning.  Here is a link to the show:

I was able to watch this today with my sister and she said how much Mom would have loved that - she had been one of our biggest cheerleaders about our whole RV trip.  It seems like a fitting completion to a chapter in our lives.  I'm sure I'll post more later, but I think, as Forrest Gump said, that's all I've got to say about that.... for now.  Blessings to all!
