My mother passed away twenty years ago when I was 34 years
old. She was also my best friend and
when she died a part of me died with her.
I still have nightmares of her taking her last breath and wake up
gasping for my own breath. All these
years I have kept my feelings buried deep.
I am a very private person and to this day I visit her gravesite by myself. I have watched others say goodbye to their
mothers and each time I grieve with them as I know the sorrow they are feeling
and know the years of heartache that will follow. Each year the pain lessens but never leaves
your soul.
Cherish your time with your mother as you never know when
you will have to say goodbye. Do not
take for granted their hugs and support.
Always tell them you love them. And
spend as much time with them as you can.
Those memories will need to last a lifetime.
