51. There is nothing worse than losing your mom, I'm so sorry.

Mon Feb 11, 2013, 05:50 PM

Feb 2013

My mom died October 8, her 89th birthday would have been this Wednesday. I still cry nearly everyday. I've never heard that line about your life changing but it does. No one will ever love you as much as your mom.

And yours was so young. Both of you were cheated. My mom lived a full life, never sick, independent until the day she died, and she never knew what hit her. (I hope). She fell into a coma and was gone in 2 days.
