Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day always seems to be a hard one for me since loosing my Mother. My Mother passed away 12/3/06 at 3:00 pm due to renal failure because of diabetes. She went through so much and suffered such a long time with this horrible disease. She had been on renal dialysis for 3 years before her body just gave up, but during that time she sure did put up a fight because she didn't want to leave us. I know my Mother loved me so dearly, and her grandchildren were her life. I vowed that I would graduate with my G.E.D. before she would pass, so that she could see me walk across that stage, and that I was able to accomplish with such pride. I graduated at the top of Indiana's graduating class that year, and received top honors, and was chosen to be the Valedictorian for the whole graduating class. I was so proud of myself for my goal that I had reached as I know my Mother was too. I've never had a friend as special as my Mother was to me. My Mother and I were very close and had a bond that no other would ever dream of having. As you can tell I put my Mother up on a pedestal, she was the one person that was always there for me no matter what my troubles were. She was the type of woman that if you were hungry she would feed you, or if she knew someone needed something and she had it, then it was yours. My Mother grew up in a very large family, she had 12 brother's and sisters, so she grew up knowing hard times. Then she met the love of her life, my Father, and finally had a good life. Her and my Father divorced, but she told him she would love him till the day she died, and she held true to that promise, she was able to tell him she loved him before she passed away. My Father paid for her burial so that us kids wouldn't have to worry with that expense, and he gave her the most beautiful funeral anyone could ask for, she was burried as a princess should be burried. I know she would be proud of the way things were handled. Mom has no more pain now and is with our Lord up in Heaven. My Mother was a Christian and held her faith to the end. Knowing that she is in a much better place makes me feel at ease, but it doesn't take away the pain of not having her with me. Holidays are always hard, especially Mother's Day. I seen this quick page that Lexi did and just had to use it. The picture I have of mom isn't a very good one, but I did the best I could with what I had of her. I don't have alot of pictures of her left due to our flood we had back in 2005, I lost almost every photo I had of her. I just sat and cried for days because those were irreplaceable and it just broke my heart all over again.
Happy Mother's Day Mom, I will always love and miss you so very much.
