Last Monday night I received one of the worst phone calls I will ever want to receive. It was the call that my mother was unresponsive and on her way to the hospital. All I could do was wait to find out what was going on. I soon found out that my mother was no longer with us, but had passed on. I had just talked to her 2 hours before. We laughed and talked and at the end said I love you. I will hold on to those words for as long as I live, as I will hold on to the memory of the wonderful person she was.
It has been a rough week, but I am now back home in Kentucky and arrangements are all made. Monday March 10th will be the last time I ever see my mother’s physical body. That is the day they will lay her to rest. I feel her presence and know parts of her will always live on in me and the rest of the family that she loved so much.
Of course I haven’t been blogging in the last few days. I know she will want me to continue living and experiencing life to the fullest, so after I deal with the emotions, the “what ifs” and one of the hardest days I believe I will have to ever face, I will be posting more. If you would like to read more about my mother you can see her obituary and celebration page here:
RIP my beautiful Mommy!

Oh my gosh I am so sorry. I can’t imagine and I don’t want to imagine what you are going through. I dread the day – I can’t even say it. I have lost many dear people in my life including my Dad but the loss of my Mom ? Would be too hard to endure.
I know there are no words no soothe your heart. My prayers are with you.

Thank you so much Darlene, it has really been a tough week. I think it is really going to hit 2 weeks from now when I go to pick up the phone and realize I can’t call her anymore. I know death is something we all must face, but nobody is ever really ready for it. I am just holding on to the good memories and leaning on the support of family and friends. Thank you for your kind words.

I am so very sorry! I certainly know how this feels, as I got the same phone call about my own mom.
Big hugs…again, I am so sorry.
