My mom's memorial service was quite the experience. It started off with me being late - and barefoot. (But in my defense I was distracted by my mom's shoe cupboard. She has about 15 pairs of crocs!! What the...?! I need to have a word with her when I get to heaven. I thought I had a shoe-disorder!?! But then again, I can only imagine when I die one day what Heidi and Michelle will say about all my hats. Actually I already know what Michelle think of my hats... oh, and my 3 boxes of soft toys which also includes my plastic toy-worm that I cant seem to let go of. He only has 9 legs and I feel a bit sentimental *blush*. But enough about that, back to the service). The church overflowed - so many people had to stand because there weren't enough seats! It was quite an eye-opener as I never realised what an impact my mom had on so many people! I think i had the most amazing mom EVER. She was like an angel in disguise and I think i was so lucky to call her MY MOM!
Obviously its been a very emotional time for me - well, the few parts that i actually remember. (I've been on very strong tranquilisers and lost about 4/5 days of my life. So if you spoke to me in the first week of January... IT WAS ALL A LIE. I promise. He he!). I dont think anybody could fathom the heartbreak and pain (together with emptiness and longing) you go through when losing a loved one - unless, of course, its happened to you. I often find myself thinking "if i could just call my mom and tell her this, or tell her that", but i cant call her - not because I dont have signal or talktime, but because she's NOT HERE. Its the most frustrating feeling in the world!! I know they say "time heals", but the last couple of days seem worse than 2 weeks ago. I guess i will still have my ups and downs. Hopefully this week will be an "up", because i know on my mom's birthday next week (15th Feb) it will most probably be a "down".
But before I have you all reaching for a tissue, i know many of you have no clue where i am right now and whats happening so lemme tell you more about whats going on the-life-of-Liesl. I started a new job last week and am really happy here (so far). I've also already had my first "moment" when my boss asked me to organise a game of golf with some clients and i tried to sound like i knew something about golf (BUT I KNOW NOTHING PEOPLE, NOTHING!!) so when i asked him "would that be a 4 ball game?" (i heard that once somewhere?!) he just laughed and said "yes, there will be 4 people, but did you mean 9 or 18 holes?". That was a bit blind. But now I officially know more about golf than i know about cricket. Mwahaha!
I just also quickly wanna say thanks to everybody that has supported me over this difficult period (why does this phrase sound so familiar? Have I sent emails that I dont remember? Mmm, thats rather disturbing), anyway where was i? Yes, thanks for all your love. It has been a very trying time, but its been good knowing that so many people care! Love you all LOTS!
