I feel like a motherless child


Because soon, I will be.


I don't want to discuss the details. My mother is dying. The docs say she will probably pass sometime tonight.


I am on my way to Texas. The road and me, we seem to meet too often.


Say a prayer for Norma Elizabeth Gustava Farris, my friends.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++


At 4:54PM Central, my mama passed away.




28 beautiful people muttered something back:

I'm so sorry, Sarah. Like Judy, I don't know the right words to say. I have the weekend off, and if you'll tell me where to go, I will drive there and help you with anything you need. I promise, please let me do something for you.

Newrose said...

I am so sorry for your loss Sarah.

Eve said...

Oh, Sarah! I'm so sorry. It's always hard to lose a parent, but to lose them both so close together. I guess it's another example of "Life isn't fair." Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Chat Wrecker said...

I'm sorry for your loss, especially losing both parents in one year. I'm sure that Amos brought her much joy.

Marge said...

You and your family are in my heart and thoughts. Stay strong and celebrate every good part of her life. ((hugs))

Sarcastic Mom (aka Lotus) said...

So very sorry, Sarah. Wish I could be closer to provide more practical help.

Hugs are so much better than anything I can type.

Love you.

Stephen Baker said...

I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better at this time.

Thinking of you, Phil & Amos.

Jeanette said...

I'm so sorry (((HUGS))) My thoughts are with you and your family.

I'm so sorry about your mother. You and your family are in my prayers.

Oh, baby girl, I'm so sorry.

Thinking of you and all your family back home during this time. Wishing you strength and courage and much love. Tricia

Little Girl Big Glasses said...

There's probably nothing a stranger could say that will help. But maybe knowing strangers care and share in your pain will?

Anyway, take care of yourself. So sorry for your loss.

LemonySarah said...

I am so sorry. You must be so heartbroken. I send you prayers and hugs.
