Mom's house is empty.
The Union Rescue Mission came 2 days early and cleaned out the remaining stuff from Mom's on Monday. It took them just a couple of hours to load everything and be gone. We set stuff they would not take out by the curb and by the end of the day even it had been scavanged. The house was vacuumed, swept and mopped and bathrooms cleaned. Now it sits almost empty. Anna and Brian wasted no time in getting it ready for their move. They are taking down wallpaper, replacing door knobs, fixing lights and doorbells. Anna has picked out some paint (yes, it is Razorback Red) and wallpaper and borders. Unfortunately, the room she is ready to get started on is the room we have stored everything in! So, she is trying to unload it as fast as posssible and I have not been up to helping her much this week. (That's a whole other story!)
I have created a new blogsite for my family. The webaddress is titusnews.blogspot.com for those of you who want to continue to follow my family's updates. I will post here occassionally about the goings on of mom's final things and my thoughts. But I think her life has come to a last chapter as we wrap up the legal mumbo jumbo. We will have to go through probate for some things that were not in her estate and that will take some time and effort. We also have to finalize her business. We closed the doors to new orders yesterday and will complete all those in process. We are hoping to be able to sell the eqiupment and inventory as well.
It is sad to be posting here for one of the last times. I have really needed this blog at times. It has been a real outlet for me. You all have been such a support and encouragement through this site as well. I want to thank you all again for everything. There is the saying that it takes a village to raise a child, well I also think it takes a village to lose a loved one! You all have honored mom in a grand way. Thank you and may God bless you in return!

What a wonderful, very thoughtful tribute to a life well lived. I know I've said it before, but it bears repeating ... your mother would be so very proud and grateful for the way you have conducted yourselves over the past 9-1/2 months. You allowed her to go in peace and with dignity and were able to smile though your tears, holding tightly to God.
Way to go, girl, you just passed one of the biggest tests of your life with high marks.
I'll be looking forward to seeing you at your new site!
