My mom passed away Thursday evening. [View all]

For the most part it was peaceful. We were with her all day and the moment she died. We were there.

There is a hole in my heart. Four years of home care and she slipped away. Not easy at all, physically or mentally however I don't regret the time we spent together, I am glad for it. I miss her and feel so lost. Past two nights I did not sleep with a baby monitor in the bed or my phone in my hand, it feels strange.



I am not a religious person, she was. The Angel is for her.

Goodnight, mom. I love you and I miss you.
