LOST
My mom passed away late Sunday night. The nursing home called to let me know she was very weak, and I didn't hardly have time to get out of bed before they called again to tell me she was gone. It was very sudden, though she was very weak. They had given her morphine, but the nurse said she just closed her eyes, fell asleep and was gone. Very peacefully.
I can't hardly still believe it. It's almost like I'm in some surreal dream, though the rational part of me knows she is gone forever. My heart is hurting so much, knowing I will never see her or talk to her ever again. She was the best mom anyone could have. With her gone, I have no parent alive. That thought hurts too. I feel very alone.
My siblings are screwed up and we don't get along- except for two of my older brothers and one of my nephews and his wife. They are so kind and helpful and supportive right now.
But what really made me tear up, was the fact that my neighbor in the apartment from me, who I hardly know, had bought me a flower earlier this afternoon and had written a nice card as well. It was so, so sweet of her and her kids to think of me right now. They'll never know how much that little gesture means to me.
Here is a pic of the flower and of the card she wro
te me:
It's so nice to know that there are some really thoughtful, nice people out there. :)
