My Mother passed away on January 12, 2012. It was not totally unexpected, she had been battling heart problems and other things for the last 10-12 years.
She lived a long and happy life with her faithful companion, my Dad. The dynamic duo.
This year would have been their 54th anniversary. She was 86 when she passed away. My Dad is 84 and plays tennis, his second love, several times a week.
I am forever thankful for the wonderful things that she gave me:
- Quick wit.
- Bright smile.
- Questioning brain.
- Big capacity for Love and Empathy.
- Rock solid foundation in God.
Unexpected or not, her death hit me like an Avalanche or Tsunami.
I know that I very lucky to have grown up under the protective umbrella of a loving marriage, with a mom and dad, my whole life.
No matter the color of your skin, it is very rare these days.
I love you Mom. I promise to sum up the courage to visit your grave site soon.
It still hurts too much right now. I am tearing up just writing this blog.
David
