One year ago, right this minute, I was sitting in my office at home working on the yearbook for David’s school. I had woke up that day feeling pretty tough. David was getting over a stomach bug so I assumed I was coming down with it. I did manage to drive across town to spend some time with my Mom at the nursing home. When it was time for me to leave she asked me for a kiss good-bye but I refused because I felt so crappy. I didn’t want to pass anything to her…if I only knew then what I know now.
At 9:30pm that Sunday night, a year ago today, that the phone rang…it was the nursing home calling to tell me my Mom was gone. I can’t believe it’s been a year…at some points it’s felt like “dog years” and at other points it’s felt like yesterday. Just like any year, it’s had it’s fair share of ups and downs. One thing you can always count on is that Life does go on. I still miss her terribly and think of her often and know some day I will see her again…until then, life will go on.
