My mom was a woman of faith.She believed God is in control and everything happens for a reason. When my sister Julie passed away nine months ago my mom showed a strength and a drive to get through what happened together. She was so strong in the way she handled everything. It made me really look up to her. She truly was a special person, and put her faith in Gods will.
My mom was diagnosed with uterine sarcoma in early 2020. I saw her at some very low times. I also saw her fight to get better and make a full recovery after some very painful months.
Sadly several months ago my mom was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Again I saw that strength and determination to beat this disease. She again went through some very painful months.
My mom had completed her chemo and radiation and was looking forward to the surgery to remove the large mass in her esophagus. She had been on a liquid diet for several months and could not swallow food.
Mom, I was looking forward to your recovery. I know you were too, but I guess God had a different plan. A plan that I know I’m not alone when I say I just don’t understand.
We talked about all the things we were going to do when you recovered like cookouts at your place on your charcoal grill, going out to brew houses and restaurants. We talked about Friday nights at your place hanging out like we used to do. I’m so sad we won’t get a chance to do any of those things again together .
Mom I’m grateful for the special relationship we have always had. We have always been so close. You have always known everything about me.
On Mother’s Day before I left the hospital, The last words we both said to each other was I Love You….
Mom I’m saying it again I Love You !!
