Three months

In less than a week it will be three months since Amah left this earthly existence. More and more I manage not having her with me. But in the times that I don't succeed it pains me more than I can describe. I still sometimes think its a dream I am going to wake up from with relieve. But my mind tells me that is not so. And so we go on with our lives. We had a family BBQ last weekend. Just for the fun of it. No reason other than to be together. We will go on doing these things as often as time permits.

More and more it dawns on me that Amah kept us together by just being around. Now we have to actually work at keeping us together. I hope and pray with all my heart, and I want Amah to help with this, that we continue to be like this FOREVER. I couldn't take it if it were otherwise.

Family is all that is left at the end. Amah taught us well so we must strive and not let our own busy schedules and our own lives get in the way.

"Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration that leads us to achieve great heights. And our comfort when we falter."
