Mom's open heart surgery

February 6, 2014

Mom had a history of angina among other problems with her heart.  In February the pain just wouldn't subside so off to the emergency room she went.  We were notified that next morning that she would be staying there until further tests were run. After the tests we spoke to the doctor and discovered that she had three blockages and would need surgery.  I panicked.  What if something happened to her and I lost her at such a young age?  (she was only 65 at the time)

I decided to go visit her late in the evening before her surgery. I climbed into her bed with her and told her how scared I was.  She hugged me and made me feel better.  She was scared too but was more concerned with me as she was with everyone she knew.  As long as everyone was happy and healthy then she was happy. 

She made it through the surgery with not one problem and lived for 14 more years.  I miss her terribly.  She was more than my mom she was my best friend.
