My Mother.

My mom passed away on June 26 2010. She had been sick a month before but was getting better and in a Rehab center to gain her strength. The Sunday before she passed away we had a party for Father's Day at the rehab center. She was getting better making plans of all the things we would do together when she got home. Monday before she died my sister and I went and visited her. She told us to go with our friend to her cabin for a vacation we needed it. I was looking forward to seeing her Saturday when we got home. Saturday early morning we got a phone call telling us that Mom had died at 4am. It was a total shock!

Here is the obituary for my mom.

There will be a viewing held Wednesday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. at Wheeler Mortuary, 82 West 400 North in Mapleton and Thursday at the church one hour prior to the services. Interment will be in the Evergreen Cemetery.

The funeral went well I spoke. I will post my talk in a later post. I will miss my mother but I know that I will be with her again.

It's been a long time since I have posted. Things have been crazy. My mom is in the hospital. She has an infection that went septic and shut down her organs. She's doing better now though. She's finally out of the ICU. Before she can come home the doctors say she will have to go to a rehab center because she is so weak. Hopefully we will have mom home soon.

I have been holding up ok with this ordeal. Alright truthfully I have been a basket case and really on edge. I keep thinking I know Mom is doing better and getting good care but still she's not suppose to be in the hospital. It's just second nature to call Mom when things are getting to much for me to handle, but with this I can't call her. There are times that I feel I have no support and then other times I feel I have tons of support. I have friends who have been praying and keeping the family in the minds. Well I'm off to go visit Mom in the hospital and see how she is today.

A little about me.

Ok, so I finally decided to start a blog of my own. This is where you can find my wishes and rants. Who knows most likely it will be just a boring place but maybe someone will find it interesting.

Alright let me introduce myself. My name is Stacy. I have been married to my dear husband Todd for 5 years (almost 6 years). It has been a wonderful time. We haven't been blessed with children yet.
