Thanks all. Once I'm through this week, then I know I will come up for air... until the week of her death the end of May.

I went to my favorite restaurant tonight. Well, first I took mom's best friend (and my friend) to the movies... where we all used to go with Mom's Red Hat group. It was a nice tribute, and good to be together in our missing her.

I went on home but realized I had to have some real food...and went to my favorite restaurant, totally forgetting it was Tuesday ... karaoke night.
Mom and I went to the restaurant often, and she loved a few of the dishes so! On her 85th I took her there because it was a Tuesday night, she'd never experienced the karaoke before... and I had Gene sing Happy Birthday to her.

So I tried to not think about all of it, but then we had some really good singers, some opera and great songs... and the memories and tears came. I tried to be discreet sitting by myself in such sorrow.
But a younger gentleman at a table next to mine offered a glass of wine, which I refused. He had one sent to my table anyway, and then offered a quiet toast. Like he knew, you know?
He arrived after me, and left before me...but before he went he excused himself and asked to sit at my table...
and then he shared the love of God with me.
How did he know?
I believe he may have been an angel ..one of those spoken about that we are to be entertaining and good and nice to strangers because you never know when you will be with an angel, unaware.
