After attending mass at the church, we ate dinner at Theo Yianni's, and then we proceeded to the Chapel Hill Cemetery to visit loved ones ( my husband's parents and two brothers.) We usually visit my FIL on special occasions when he was still around and this was the first time that we celebrated without him so we went to the cemetery to visit them.
I had to take my shoes off because it was slushy and muddy due to the rain from previous days. I wish that I could have met my MIL but I wasn't able to come before she passed. I did talk to her on the phone when I was still in my country and she seemed really nice.
It's sad to think that my FIL won't be around anymore for my children's graduations and other occasion but I hope that he would be looking down still.
I am thankful for the gift of life, for my children, for my husband and for the good life we live here on earth. I pray that I would still be around to witness my children's different stages in life and hope to see grandchildren in the future. My prayer for Mother's Day is that, may the good Lord blessed my children good health and may they grow up to be good people and be successful in life.
