My mom passed away on March 7th of this year. It's been really hectic around the house. I've been faced with not only losing my dearest mother, but a companion, a friend, an Increible resource and an amazing game partner. Is something I feel I need to suffer alone as no one else can even begin to fathom what my mind goes through with every memory and sound.
She was the strongest person I know, she took on pancreatitis (doctors believed it was cancer), and recovered while her husband passed away (my step dad, one of the most wonderful people I was blessed with encountering in my life).
Her strength was contagious, having our house burn down was only a new start. Losing ourselves was never an option, a true warrior my mother gave me everything I needed to be strong as well.
And yet in missing her I am feeling weak. She was everything to me and through her memory I will keep her alive.
Mom, wherever you are this will never be a good bye, but a farewell, and a we will meet again, may the tides go in our favor and the winds push us closer.
