January 1, 2007
2007 has started out on a sad note for me. My mother passed away this morning from a heart attack. I have mixed emotions about it at the moment. We had been estranged for so long and for much of that time I had a lot of anger from the childhood abuse that I went through with her and her alcohol problem. I don't know how I am supposed to feel. I think I feel rather guilty because I feel like I should be more upset. The past several years we had been working on building a relationship but it has still been a little strained because she was still heavily drinking. I do have some peace that we mended what we could before she died. And a lot of relief that my last memory of her was a positive one. She came over here on December 23rd to celebrate Christmas with us. It was the best visit we have ever had. I'm grateful for that. I have a lot to do these next few days making the funeral arrangements but I am still concentrating on my new challenge at the same time.I pulled a muscle right between my shoulder blades the night before last doing my UBWO, so I'm taking it easy with that. Everything else is right on schedule.
Sorry Lori...I knew you didn't have this in mind when you asked (do...pretty much demanded lol) an update, but this is what's been going on with me lately.
