Mee Maw's Place

This blog is for our "Mee Maw", Mildred Matthews. Born on March 4, 1908, she is the daughter of a Confederate Veteran, the mother of four sons, grandmother of 13, and great-grandmother of almost 40. I, her oldest grandson Richard, have posted updates about her condition, her death, and her funeral on July 23, 2006. I love you, Mee Maw.

A Long Year

It has been a year now since Mee Maw left us. She is gone, but the lonely ache remains.

The family is still sorting through her belongings. That which we recognize as our gifts to her have been reclaimed. Other items with attached memories have been allocated. Still, much remains to be divided, distributed, or donated to charity.

I cannot speak for the rest of the family, but I still miss her terribly. Seeing things in my house that were once prominent in hers prolongs the feeling of loss.

But we will meet again someday. That's a promise!
