Thanks
Thank you everyone, especially Debbi. Thank you guys for being there when I needed you and was ready to come back. Debbi you told me last night that I was an inspiration to you. I was so surprised, you have been a great inspiration to me. You have struggled by have never given up. I am so glad you encouraged me to go to the OH event in Dallas. There were many faces I knew and many unfamiliar ones. I learned so many good things and had a wonderful time.
Sorry Its been a while since I have posted, its been really rough. Just when I was getting back on track with the exercise and getting back on the boards my mom suddenly and unexpectedly passed away on Aug 4th the day before my 20th wedding anniversary. Its been really tough, she the one who made it possible for me to have my life saving surgery.
I still can't believe she is gone. I am thankful that I was able to see her before she passed. I found out how bad she was early Tuesday morning at work. I work with a great bunch of people, they took care of me and made sure I was able to go home. I called my husband and told him the news and he met me back at the house and made sure I was flying home by noon. I was picked up at the airport and we went straight to the hospital.
I walked it looked like she was sleeping. I went up to her and was telling her I was there and that I loved her. She opened her eyes for the first time in a day, omg they got so big, she knew it was bad. She said some words I don't even know what, God I wished I remembered what. She grabbed me in her arms and I just held her. That was the last time she spoke or attempted to hold any of us. My husband brought the kids down on Friday to see her, it was pretty tough she was in ICU and it was pretty scary for them, even though they are teenagers. We were able to move her into a regular room the next morning so that the younger grand kids could come and see her. I didn't think my kids would be able to see her again they were pretty traumatized. But I think for the younger kids sakes they did. At this point mom would look your way when you spoke to her, this was on Saturday. My husband had to leave on Sunday with my kids. My sister, brother and I spent all Sunday night with her she wasn't doing so good. Monday we made sure to get her arraignments done as she would want us to. We didn't know how much longer we were going to have her. We went back latter on then went home to take care of the kids. That night my sister and I decided to go up and tuck her in. We sat with her for a few hours, she looked better and more peaceful then she had in a week. The next morning just before we were leaving the house to go see her we got a call from the hospital mom passed away that morning at 955. Everyone was in shock how fast things went, she walked into the hospital with a really bad headache and then she was gone in a week.
I really miss her and can't believe she is gone. We lost our dad just a little over 2 years ago. You can never say I love you to anyone to much or say one last kind word or do any last kind deed, you never know when it will be the last time.
Thanks you guys for being there for me even when I couldn't be on the boards. Just knowing you guys were there for me met a lot. I'm determined to get back in the the swing of thing and on track. I need to do this for myself and my mom. She was the one who made my second chance possible and I want her to continue to be proud of me. I know there will be good days and bad days. I'm just going to take them one day at a time.
