I remember growing up and always being that kid that stayed in trouble. Once I got older I joined JROTC which made my parents so proud. I remember my mom telling me that I was doing an amazing job and that she was proud of me and loved me. I graduated and the smiles on my parents face made me so happy. When my mom got diagnosed with ALS in december 2010, I was devastated once I found out what it was and how I would eventually lose my mom. In 2011, I made sure i spent as much time with my parents as I could. My mom turned out to be my best friend and i was so happy to go to church with her and spend time with her. And now here i am without her and it is the hardest thing i have ever had to go through not only losing my mom but my best friend. I love you mom and miss you so much that is unbearable at times. I hope you are enjoying living with God.
