Two years ago today I lost my mother. Ovarian cancer, its just evil.
I was there with her when she passed. When she took her last breath, I held her. Just as I had held her hand so many times before. Through chemo treatments, endless doctors visits. Hugs during really low times when she was just to tired to do anything.
Its evil, it hides and destroys. The silent killer.
Today I won't dwell on mom's death, I will remember her alive and well. Her easy laughter, and hugs just because. How she loved orange soda, and sherbet. Watching Touch by an Angel. Chocolate covered cherries, liquid center not cream..lol Just being around those that she loved, be it friend or family. Christmas traditions..the lights just right on the tree, or always burning the dinner rolls. How she loved my cooking..more because she didn't have to I think. Remembering her snuggled up in bed, grandkids beside her watching Spongebob for the millionth time. Or forgetting to take her glasses off before she fell asleep reading. She was a strong woman, from a strong line of women. I'm proud to say I'm one of them.
I love you mom. I miss and think of you everyday.
