I feel Like a Heel!!

[Rachel]

It was funny tho, I called her this morning, and she wasnt home, so the Answering machine picked up, and it was my Step-dads message! It was creepy, cause the way he set it up, it seemed like he had answered the phone, you know, like it wasnt the machine at all! Just a tad bit freaky!! I told mom, and she had forgotten all about it, and is having my Brother chane it today.

It does seem as if your mother is doing quite well. Good for her and good for you staying in touch like you are. That would mean a lot to me.

My sister passed away last August. My brother-in-law still has his answering message say that she nor he can come to the phone right now. I wonder if I should say anything to him about it? He still hasn't sorted out any of her clothing either, but that I can understand one would do when they feel ready. The answering machine message is something that is kind of *out there*.

awww....well some people justneed more time. but it could be like y mom, and just didnt realize it was still like that?? Or maybe, it is the only way he can still hear her voice??

Mom has already gone through all of dads things, all his clothes were sent to the Salvation Army, his Walkers, canes, and such was donated to the Nursing home. She even went through her Pantry(mom dosent Cook) and Donated most of the food to the local Food Bank.

I guess in all reality mom is handling things pretty well. The only thing, she dosent handle well is being alone, but that is just natural I guess.
