it has been too long
( how many bloggers start with that line?)
it has been almost two months since my mom passed into the presence of Jesus.
three weeks ago we had the most wonderful memorial service for her where we were joined by many of her friends from church. Since then I have experienced a sense of the freedom of not being her care giver, of not being the scheduler, the cook and the medicine man.
I did what I did well, and fell great about caring for my mom. I pray that if some day I need that sort of care, it will be provided. My family is amazing and I thank God for every one of them.
The peace we have now is substantial, and lasting, knowing that mom is in the best hands, in the hands of her creator, and savior.

- I am a lover of God, and I am a lover of life. My three wonderful children help me be a better man, and I consider fatherhood my most important role. These kids have made my life meaningful and filled with beauty. Nothing compares to them or gets between us. My mom lived 91 years and as youngest I was privileged to make sure she was comfortable and safe in her own home, was never alone, had plenty of friends and family coming around. She knew, before she passed away, how much we kids appreciated all she did for us over the many years. I am the youngest of five. I have ADD and it makes me fun, or irritating, depending on who you ask. Most of all I am real, so this blog has fun aspects and then serious writings, too. You get both, for one click of the mouse.

God bless you David. Yo were a loving caring son to your mother and have such prec precious memeories to cheriah. Jesus an d mom smile down upon you from heaven.
Aha, you are still posting!
I remember after My Mother had gone to the Light, My world seemed like a totally different place. Like learning to ride a bike, but the training wheels are no longer there, n no one is going to catch you, or giving you sure direction anymore. A big relief in a way, more difficult in others.
May your journey be blessed, n your path well lit.
sorry for your loss- glad you have that peace that is missing in so much of the world. knowing that you will see her again makes all the difference. good work- not all men (even most) would step up in the way that you did. God bless! i'm at www.fishingsouthwestflorida.com
David- I am sorry I didn't get back to you right away - I just now figured out that you left a comment on my blog- www.fishingsouthwestflorida.com
I'm a fisherman- not so much a blogger!
I don't fish in Key Largo- but I have a couple of people who do- if you still need information I'll be glad to get you a phone number or two.
If you aren't just dead set on Key Largo- I recommend fishing here in Boca Grande- we are about 1 1/2 hours south of Tampa on the gulf coast!
Let me know if you need some info-
