It's Maundy Thursday, tomorrow Good Friday and Sunday Easter. If the phone rings, will I feel the usual holiday weekend panic out of habit?
It's that peaceful ahhhhh feeling again. No summons to rescue JB this time. No emergency that only hubbie can handle.
Buuuutttt....
Hubbie may be sad. First holiday without Mother. JB's hubbie, (hubbie's dad) was in the hospital at Easter 5 years ago. It was the hospitalization leading up to his death. I don't know if hubbie remembers that he was in there over Easter or not. If he does, he'll be doubly sad. I won't remind him and make him sad if he's not already.
On that Easter Sunday when hubbie was with his parents, my dear sweet next door neighbor invited me to join her family for their Easter lunch. It was so sweet. That next door neighbor also died unexpectedly in the past year. I remember thinking when she died how unfair it was that someone like my neighbor had to die when there was so much evil in the world like JB left behind.

I too have those feelings about my MIL. I even get upset sometimes about medical care helping people like my MIL stay alive and be healthy. It just seems so wrong to me, in an aiding and abedding an evil doer sort of way so that she can torment even more!
ReplyDeleteI had a MIL free Easter as well this year. Not because she passed away, but because she was in Mexico on holidays. I did soak up every wonderful moment of the MIL free holiday, thinking that this is what it will be like when she is finally gone.
I would be interested to hear about the time with your MIL when FIL was alive and what it looked like after he died. My FIL is 80 next year, so I will be entering the stages you are in in the future.
It is so nice to be "Away From Her"
