She truly is and will always be my hero. This was my last day with her 7/21/13. I keep my visitor pass on my visor so I have my last day with her near. It was so hard to leave that day... I was afriad that was the last day that I would ever see her until we meet in heaven. Just thinking of leaving that day, well it was so hard on me and I still cry over it. Shes been the mom I never had.
Mother & Daughter Bonding
A memory I'd like to share is when mama became bed bound and I would come visit her, I would crawl up in bed with her and we would watch TV together. I would bring Pepi into the bed so that mom could visit and play with him. Prior to mom getting really sick Pepi slept in bed with mom so they really missed each other and looked forward to when they could play and visit. He was now out in the Living Room most of the time. I bonded with my mother when she fell ill and am so grateful that we had time to mend our relationship and establish a friendship prior to things getting really bad. But, there just wasn't enough time. There never is! You really do have to make every moment count. I still can't believe she is gone.
