And then it was my Mom

I have had the most truly worst experiences of my life. Yesterday I spent the day running a few errands, nothing important. I decided to drive across town to go see a customer. As I was driving I was near my Mom's home. I got the feeling " I should go check on her." You see I hadn't been able to reach her all day. I thought little of it and kept driving.

Then it happened, I was directed clearly to go to my Mom's house and to go now!

I arrived at her home and could see inside (because her front door was open but her metal door was locked) that she was laying back on the loveseat. I knocked loudly but got no response, then I knocked loudly enough that it should have woken anyone and everyone up. I ran to the back door, couldn't find a spare key, and couldn't get in the house. I called 911, broke a window, asked a neighbor to go through the window (too small for me), he let me in and my worst fears were confirmed. My Mom has died and I am crushed by it. I loved my Mom so much. I called her everyday just to talk to her, just to see how she was doing. I love her and am so sad by this. I can't believe I have just lost both of my parents in less than two years.

I have to tell you all. I have learned that nothing, NOTHING! Is important enough to get mad at someone you love about. You never know when they will pass. I feel fortunate that my Mom and I had a wonderful relationship. We had our little tiffs here and there, but nothing recent. I know that she loved me and I know that she knows that I loved her.

Love everyone, love them with all your heart. Never stay mad. I can't tell you how grateful I am for the relationship that I had with my Mom. I love her so much and miss her more now then I knew that I ever would.
