I love you and am so sad that you're going through this. Please know that however you're feeling right now-sad, numb, guilty, tired, angry-it's normal.I'm praying every day for your comfort and for you to be able to find joy again.Warm thoughts for you on these chilly, lonely nights.Wishing you all the peace and comfort possible.Lean on me I'm happy to be your shoulder to cry on.I'm available for grocery deliveries, kid pickups, babysitting, making dinner-whatever you need.There are no words to convey how terrible this is.Sending you positive thoughts and lots of prayers.I know that as we all gather today, our Mom is with us.
It has provided our family with great comfort. I think this poem gives us an inside look into how our mom viewed the world both in life and death. When I turned around, she just smiled, and I know she had made and found her peace with Life.Īs I was cleaning out her house, I found this poem in her nightstand. When I left my mom that night, she called my name as I walked out the door. She was always a spiritual person, and I know it was her faith that helped her through those last few months. On our last night with our mom, we spent the whole night praying with her. She insisted on being present at all family functions whether it was a graduation ceremony, a friend's wedding, Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas, or just a regular Saturday family gathering. Her spirit of fun, and zest for life was always present. Over the last few years, we all saw how her health deteriorate. There is no cure for Parkinson's disease, and over the years that followed her diagnosis, I admired her spirit and the way she woke up each day, drove us kids to school, and was standing at the door smiling when we got home from school. I remember when Mom was diagnosed over 15 years ago, she was firm, gentle, hopeful, yet well aware of the way her life was changing.
As some of you may know, Parkinson's disease affects the brain and muscular control of the person that has the disease. In her late 30's, Mom was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. She use to always say to us "Don't be so serious, life is too short, just have fun". What can I say about my Mom? For those of you that knew my mom, she was not only the life of the party but often the reason for the party.
