My mother, who passed eleven years ago. Has it really been that long..?
She lived in our home for the last 9 years of her life, was wheelchair bound the last four, and passed quietly during the night.
I would HUG her - a LOT. I would whisper "thank you for loving four girls and raising them alone. For keeping us together, no matter what. For instilling in us morals that don't seem to matter much, anymore". |
