After one year

On October 23 it had been a year since Mom's passing.  It is hard to comprehend that an entire year has gone by.  Much has changed and yet so much is the same.
The Sunday that she passed was the last Flag Football game of grandson Dylan.  This year at the last flag football game I was emotional out of the blue.  I had planned to be busy on the 23rd to avoid thoughts of her death but I was ambushed by sadness at the football field.  It was gratifying to have my children and grandchildren around me on that day.  I know Mom would have been proud of all of us.
My sister recently went to medium and heard from Mom.  She and Dad are together, she wanted to know what happened to the Crown Royal bag of coins.  We had divided them into equal portions for all of Mom's children and grandchildren.  The medium said that she was pleased to know that we had them.  The strange part of that is that these coins were silver dollars, half dollars and $2 bills that my Dad had saved from the cash register at our restaurant.  Mom had fussed for months, if not years, over what to do with the coins.  She would sort them over and over again and they would fall to the floor making a clatter all the time.  I eventually removed them from her room because we got tired of hearing them hit the floor and picking them out of food and stuff.  they were indeed in a Crown Royal bag.  She never seemed to miss them once I took them from her room. Apparently she didn't really stop worrying about them.
I need to find out more from my sister about what the medium said.  This woman has been very tuned in to each of us that has gone to her.
