Visitation at the funeral home
Years ago, my mother gave me a charm bracelet. Over the years, she must have added 40 charms. I'd like to wear it to the funeral home because she gave it to me, but it is noisy and clunky and I am afraid I'll hit someone with it. So, I am wearing the black "angel" bracelet that my daughter gave me. Also a rouched black top that my mother said was "slimming" with black and white dress pants. I took the fruitcake, tomatoes in a mason jar, scrabble game and cards to the funeral home. I thought it might be helpful to have explanations written up so I printed those and taped them to heavy cardboard. I woman at the funeral home said tears come in waves and that is how it has been with me. I'm fine and then something triggers a second of crying. My hope and prayer is that the funeral home can set up for my mother after the Memorial service earlier in the afternoon.
