Saturday, 16 October 2010 -- Day 300 (313)

Sixty-five more days.  Sixty-five more entries.  One thousand, five hundred sixty hours.  When I look back at where I started 313 days ago when Mom died, I didn't think I could possibly make it through one minute w/o her.  Then one minute turned to one hour, and I was driving Dad's van back to their house.  One hour turned to one day and planning her funeral.  One day turned to one week, and I was staying w/ Dad to help him adjust.  One week turned to one month, and I was throwing myself back into teaching.  One of Mom's favorite religious songs just came to mind, in fact it was a song I had selected for her funeral until we found her selections.  I think Kris Kristofferson wrote it, but Mom always listened to the Cristy Lane recording: "One day at a time, Sweet Jesus.  That's all I'm asking of you.  .......  Lord, help me today.  Show me the way.  One day at a time."
