The marker tells me my mom passed away just over 6 months ago at the age of 69.I can't process it in time.It has shook one of the main pillars of my foundation to the point I feel I could tilt and fall at any moment.I do some how manage to get through each day.I have good days and bad days for sure.This blog helps as do my many other projects.Today I broke down in tears a couple of times but then this is my first Christmas without her.That's me on the back of the marker WAYNE as I am Dennis Wayne Morgan her son from her first marriage.My sister Darlene died when I was 15 and my real father died when I was in the Army in my 20's.Shaunna and Douglas are my Step Fathers kids from his first marriage.David and Gregory are the 2 boys that my Mom and Step Father brought into our lives.We are a close and loving family by all accounts.I will be traveling a short 75 minute drive to my brother David's house to have Christmas dinner with my step father and one of my brothers and his family.I was there Thanksgiving as well.I miss my Mom very much and hope her Christmas is special whatever she is doing today.She loved Christmas more than any one I have ever known.
