I have to acknowledge this date of February 21st. Exactly a year ago was when my sister called me to tell me my Mom had stage IV pancreatic cancer. Mad Dog and I had returned from getting the boys haircuts and we were out on our lanai when I took the call. I dropped everything and was with my Mom and family by ten o’clock that night. When there was no one else around, my Mom and I stayed up late into the night and talked about life, love and death. She thanked me for being there and I said that I was honored to share this experience with her. It is something I will hold close to me for the rest of my life.
She was gone in 17 days.
I keep thinking of the memories that took place over those days. I comforted her, cared for her and loved her with everything I am. I helped her to be fearless and open to the possibility that what was happening could be beautiful. In very inexplicable ways, it was.
I still miss her every single day.
I love you, Mom.
Writes for all Mommies 
I miss her also.
Me, too. You two “girls” loved your Mom and honored her by everything you did in that short time. Loved her smile 🙂
Thank you.
It is remarkable how much you look like your mom. I know you must miss her dearly but I know and can even tell just from your words that her wonderful spirit is with you and the boys everyday.
