This year has been one of, if not the roughest year I have ever experienced. I not only lost my Dad in March but just 3 months later now have lost my Mother.
I thought when Dad died that Mom would blossom a bit and maybe even enjoy life a bit. Dad was very controlling and has been quite ill for several years so it has been pretty tough about the last 5 years. I pictured us being able to go to lunch, spend the afternoon shopping, or having her to the house and she could watch me work with the horses, maybe the two of us going to visit her sister in Nevada. None of this happened.
The Monday after my Dad's memorial, Mom suffered a stroke, the next week she had another one. She lost her desire for life. She started refusing to eat, drink, take her meds or do therapy. Whether she knowingly made the decision to do this or it was a result of the strokes, the result was the same. Mom passed away on Monday morning June 16th.
Today would have been her 83rd birthday. It has been a very sad day for me, I miss her terribly. I have faith, I know she is no longer in pain, I know she no longer misses Dad, I know she is at peace. The only problem is, it is not here.
If you have an extra minute tomorrow, give me a thought, send a prayer, whatever it is that you believe in. It will be a hard day, maybe some good memories throughout the day but all in all, still without my Mom.
I love you Mom, rest in peace.
