January 19, 2011

I have been remiss.....missed a lot of days.....

Today I am thankful for the life my mother lived, for the example that she set, the lives she touched, and the 42 years I had with her.

Exactly one year ago today I stood in a hospital room with my dad and my brother, kissed my mother on the forehead, told her I loved her, and held her hand as she passed from this life. I wanted to sing for her, but I couldn't - I will always regret that.

It's expected to say that I know she's in a better place and I'm happy she's there --- and that's true, but I miss her. And if I could bring her back, I would. But, I can't...so, I try not to think about it and mostly I'm okay. But some days....some days....are just hard......
