Still a bit sick but no where near like I was. We'll be leaving here shortly to go to Macon. I swear, I cannot bear the thought of being there without Mama. I don't know how Daddy will make it. He's lived without her there for months, but was so glad to have her back home, if only for a short while. Now, the loneliness he felt before without her will be forever real.

I've kept myself sequestered during this. Church family has wanted to come by but I cannot share this grief so they've honored that. My brother called and told David that if there was anything I wanted to add to the arrangements, to let him know. I can't. I can't stop crying long enough to think in those terms.

One thing I know, she is with the Lord. And, she is able to hold my sweet Ana for me until my own time comes.
