Mom....

It has been quite a while since my last post.  So much has happened in my life, some good, some not so good.  The hardest most difficult loss of my life occurred 3 weeks ago.  I lost my mother.  She was only 64 years old, but had been suffering from Alzheimer's for almost ten years.  She was diagnosed soon after she lost her mother, so it was like loosing both of them because she was never the same after her mother died.  She and I were very close.  She was a single mom and her life revolved around my brother and I.  She did remarry, two weeks after I married to a wonderful man who took the most wonderful care of her to the very end.  She was a doting grandmother who loved her grandchildren very much.  She was loved by so many.  She is truly missed.  One word of advice, never leave your mom without telling her you love her and giving her a kiss and a hug.  Join me in praying for a cure for this awful disease so no one else has to loose their loved one to the inner corners of their own mind. I love you mom!
