Unexpected Package

First I want to thank you all immensely for the prayers and good vibes

My Mama has moved in with me until she is back on her feet

As we sat on the bed looking out into the garden

Her voice cracked a bit as she said once again

That there was a reason this all happened with me in the forefront

That there was a reason this 'package' was dumped in my lap

(Referring to herself as 'the package')

I laughed and agreed; adding that it was the best package I'd received

Equivalent to a box full of paints, pencils, paper, candy and pop

And all those other goodies that make my heart skip a beat

I reminded her of the huge lessons I've learned

Instead of reading or paying for a class

I learned first hand the power of self-talk, of family, friendship

I had a rare glimpse at the other side, renewed a fascination with clergy

Faced Fear and Ego and am still standing (a bit wobbly but standing)

And yep, dare I say it....I experienced Love

The family has bonded firmly once again

Are coming on weekends to give me a helping hand

And although today marks the 39ish anniversary of my brother's death

I know it was only in the physical sense

Since I've always felt him nearby

Thanks again Ohm family...y'all rock
