Kiss your Mom and Dad from us....

 
Last night I remembered something about your Mom and Dad.  I recall your Mom telling us that she had planned her own funeral.  At the time I remember thinking that I was listening to possibly the most organized woman in America.

 

In the past few months we(my husband and I)… have lost both of our Mom’s.  Do you know how nice it would have been to have had them plan their own funerals??

 

She has given all you kids a gift……and it will be such a relief as you progress through this time together.  It will give you time to focus on the important things…..listening, holding, loving and being together!!!

 

Believe me…..every second now…. will be memorable for all…..

 

I was thinking about your Dad last night and today too….he also, is one in a million. 

 

I kept thinking about him in his garden…..talking to God about what is happening to his wife…..and wondering why all that fresh food did not save her from disease.

 

Emma’s sickness is making many people very sad.  It also opens the door to lots of people showing how much they care and love another human being.  It is good that they can express their feelings on-line through the blog.  I love that they can let her know how much she means to them….while she is still able to hear and see them.

 

Good night…..and thank you for being you and being such a great and caring daughter.

 

Kiss your Mom and your Dad from us…..

What is Your Emma Story?

This blog is a chance to remember and honor Emma by bringing us together in a way that can only be done through a medium like the internet. We love her, we will miss her, but she's here for a short time still, and we want to smile and cry and laugh together with her as much as possible while we can.

Emma has touched a monumental number of lives through her work as a mother, grandmother, friend, teacher, artist, and to Ted as a dear wife. There are countless stories that have already been told many times, and there are many others that we're going to learn for the first time as we read them here.

PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS, STORIES AND PICTURES!!!

Not only will we be able to laugh and smile together, even after Emma has passed, but we will be sharing this blog with Emma. If you have a story, long or short, silly or sad, pensive or outrageous, please take some time and share it with us and Emma.

This is such a dear time for all of us. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and prayers.

It's easy! To post to Emma's blog, send an email to emmaallebes.post@blogger.com. If you have a picture(s) that you would like to add, make it an attachment to the email. Your email will post automatically.

Please remember to include your name somewhere in the email/post.
