@DaycareMom : I know your pain. I'm still in shock that my mother is gone. Still hard to believe. 😢❤️

Hugs to you hope you come back a big winner.

Hope you win! 4 years for my dad? Every time I see a frog I think of him (he collected frogs and then went into DNA)

@DaycareMom : hugs!!

@DaycareMom : Beautiful photo and memories.

Thank you all for the kind words. This day was gut wrenching 5 years ago. After days of mostly sleeping and not talking, she woke up that morning, looked at me and said I love you. I said I love you too, mom. Then she said I am so tired of fighting please let me die. UGH! I was there alone but had to hold back the tears as she spoke her last words to me. I vowed to stay strong for her, no way was I going to let her see me cry. As she drifted back off, I stepped out of the room and broke down and started making calls and arrangements. Because of her and how she raised me, I was able to, and still do, remain strong. At 930 pm she took her last breath, but I know I felt her soul lift up to heaven that morning after I assured her everything would be ok. God I miss her. My mom.. such a beautiful person. Sorry to spill my feelings out.. started crying as i typed this out and started to erase it all. Thanks for reading. I needed a good cry. I'm going to go get my kids out of school and spend the day with them to help keep my mind occupied.

@DaycareMom :

@DaycareMom : I know it was painful but what a blessing that you got to tell each other I love you one more time. My mom used to say, "We only have to say goodbye once because the next time I see you it will be forever." to you

@Luckysis : Beautiful. Thank you!

@DaycareMom : lost my mom 6 months ago. Her last 2 weeks were brutal as she had feeding tube removed and died of dehydration. The hardest thing was towards the end when she tried to talk and I had to tell her that I couldn't understand what she was trying to say. Glad and relieved when it was finally over.

@redneckroy : I'm so sorry!

@West-Tex : thanks! no worries now....don't mean to hijack the thread

@DaycareMom : Your mom was very pretty.

@redneckroy : oh man I couldn't even imagine having to go through that

@BettyBoop : Thank you! My 3 siblings all look like my dad. I am the only one that looks exactly like my beautiful mom
