It's been almost 6 weeks since mom passed and thanks to the love and support of many great friends and family, the pain of loss is pretty much gone and thanks to her many lessons in life, we are clearly focused on what lies ahead.

 

Several new adventures are brewing and I look forward to seeing them develop.  No journey is without its pitfalls however.  Without getting into a lot of boring detail, I am grateful to be working with a fleet lead who is not only a charismatic leader, but an honorable person as well.  It truly sucks when someone who is supposed to be in a position of senior leadership in an organization doesn't know the first thing about it and interjects themselves into your affairs when they have no cause to, and in doing so causes financial turmoil simply in the interest of trying to be popular to a whiney < ahem >.

There have been several times I have sat down to write this and for one reason or another I found something else to do.  How do you sum up the life of one who brought you into this world, let alone tell the tale of their final chapter?  As has been said, this particular sad tale was inevitable, but I had hoped it would be a bit further on.  I had hoped to share more of my accomplishments and milestones with my mother who was always so proud and protective.  The lament of mortal man, always wanting more time.
