    Thank you so much everyone, we can all feel the love for sure. My mom finally passed this morning, without pain and surrounded by love. She had a few moments of lucidity last night which we were able to share, so I'll cherish that forever.

    This is without a doubt the hardest day of my life, and I know more are to come.

    Thanks. Yeah we have zero regrets about anything which gives us some comfort anyway. We spent a lot of time wiht her, had a couple of laughs last night, and told her we loved her over and over this morning and prayed before she passed (the priest showed up 5 minutes afterwards).

    We have family flying in tonight so that will be a help, and people will be visiting to offer support.

    And may I say there is nothing more surreal than choosing an outfit for your mom to wear in her casket :(

    Just wanted to express my thanks again for everyone's concern and love. Please know that we are feeling it.

    Been hanging in there, my aunt and uncle flew in from Jersey so it is good to have them here, and friends have been visiting to give us comfort. I know it will be a long road ahead, and the pain will never really go away. I guess it's just a matter of learning to live with it. I'm a little scared about how the sadness will hit me, as I'm just going through waves right now. I was going through some photos to display at the rosary, that was hard, but also comforting in a way, seeing how happy she was in them...all the places we went to, fun that we all had.

    I'm also nervous about the funeral, we're going to the funeral home tomorrow to make plans. Fortunately my dad is so organized, that he had paid the funeral home a couple of years ago and made arrangements, as to ease the pain of planning such a thing, so hopefully it will go smoothly. I have no idea how I'm gonna be at the service, but I guess there's no point in worrying. Whatever I feel, I feel. I'm hoping I can keep it together but we'll see :(
