At 6:15 pm tonight, Mom passed away. All I can say is goodbye, sunshine, I will miss you forever. I love you with all my heart, and we just didn’t get enough time together. I have been so lucky to have you in my life – this world was better for every minute you spent here. This world will never be the same again without you, and I hope one day to have as good a relationship with my children as you have had with yours. Thank you for teaching me how to love and how to fight and how to live. Thank you for loving me, for being there to cheer me on, to boost me up, and to believe in me. You have been my anchor, kept me from feeling lost and adrift in this crazy world. I’m already lonely without you.
Oh, I am so so sorry for your loss. She was clearly one wonderful woman and a terrific influence in your family. I’m glad she got to see you married and with your two cute kids. My grandfather passed away just a few months after I, my brother, my cousin (the oldest grandchild) and my sister all got married. I think in many ways he was just waiting to make sure his oldest grandkids got married. Who knows.
