Took me awhile but sometimes sharing is therapeautic........

Unfortunately I lost my mom unexpectedly earlier this year, Oct 24th. I was on rte 495 south at 4am (fishing at the ditch) when my wife called in a panic. My father had just called saying my mom was being rushed to the hospital.

Needless to say I turned around and headed straight for the hospital. When I arived a mere 25 minutes later, my mother had passed.

Our family was devastated. Even though its a month and a half later, it' still hard for me to beleve she's gone. We hosted thanksgiving and it was tough. She was the core/backbone whenever a family event occurred.

I especially feel bad for my dad. Even though my older brother lives at home, he works the night shift which means my dad is alone from 1-11pm. Thank god that we are a close family.

Upon reflecting, it's amazing what an influence she had/has on my life. My oldest son Luke had a very special realtionship with her (1st grandchild) and he talks about her often. For a five year old, he is wise beyond his years.

I pray she is in a better place and realizes how much we miss her.
Just remember to be thankful for what we have because those same things may gone tomorrow.
