There's a pain in my heart
This is my Mom's obituary in today's Victoria Times Colonist. Even though I wrote it, it sucked the wind out of me when I saw it actually published.

I'm a country kid (and Navy brat) who grew up near Victoria, BC, Canada. I moved to Vancouver for just a few months and ended up staying for 30 years. Have always dreamt of the "electronic cottage", so in 2005 we took early retirement, bought a ranch in Central BC and left that big city behind.

I'm not sure why I'm surprised, but your Mom was a rockhound as well? I had no idea. You did a great job writing this. Take care.
i'm so sorry for your loss ... you did a beautiful job with your mom's obituary. it sounds like she was a strong and much-loved lady.
My sympathies to you and your family; with so many who loved her your mother will be deeply missed, may your warmest memories of her remain.
Your words are beautiful, I'm sure your family is thankful that you took care of it, and I'm sure your mother would be very proud of you.
