Its been 5 years now that my Mom passed away. She was an awesome lady. She had breast cancer and survived it; then six months later she ocntracted Lymphoma Cancer. She did not want to take Chemo and radiation treatments. It was very hard on us especially me because I saw her suffer especially in the hospice hospital. Watching here on that bed and making a noise every time she tried to take a breath. It sucked watching her slip away and not being able to help her.
Anyway, when she passed away I felt sad, but yet I realized she may have been gone physically but spiritually she still lived. And she lives in my heart.
My mom would be the type of mom that was always caring and putting a smile on peoples faces.
The best memories were during the holidays. Every hoilday she would always buy presents or treats and spoil everyone. Like if it was Easter she would buy Easter Bunnies (stuffed animals) for all the Grandchildren. And for the adults she'd buy chocolate candies. Easter egg hunts, etc..
Now on Christmas would be baked goods and presents for all. She would make Tamales and ham . Well, you get the picture.
She was the glue that held the family together and made it fun.
And she would like to spoil her friends and see them when they were sick.
So by all means, hug your moms and give them flowers while they are still on this earth. Because you never know how much time they have left on this planet.
