Thank you all so much for your concern and words about my mom's passing. She was a strong woman to the bitter end. The end was pretty bitter, too. Besides losing her functions she also became extremely confused and hallucinated too. It was so hard to watch her go through this. Some times I wonder why time is like it is. I knew she was going to die but did not want to believe it. You never want your mom to leave you, do you? But cancer took her away and it's a horrible way to go from what I saw. I wish cancer never came into out lives and cancer even makes me mad that it did what it did to her. I never knew how bad cancer really was until I saw my mom slowly agonizingly die of it. It's hard to get those memories out of my head. I have been literally sick with dry heaves, panic attacks, depression.

Yes, time heals and it takes time. Thanks for your welcome and listening to me and my heartfelt thoughts. I have fond memories of my mom from the holidays and Christmas when she always made sure we had a great day. She made all of our clothes when we were children. There is so much of her love I remember. I miss her so much and tears are streaming now but that's part of grief, I know.

Thank you all again. God bless you.
