That Thing About My Mom

yellow-rose-picture.jpgOn Sunday night, January 6 at 11:45pm my mom slipped away from us. Well, there was no 'slip' to it. She was whisked away, no warning. BAM! One minute she's having dinner with my dad and little brother and sister-in-law at a local eatery, the next she's gone. One of her babies 1800 miles away, unable to get to her in time to say a proper goodbye and to beg her not to go. In just under 72 hours, mom went from happy seemingly fine with only the challenges of severe arthritis, fibromyalgia and a few other tough but treatable issues to being gone. We're not sure how, or why. Pathology reports could be weeks or months in coming. Our little family hit hard, my dad is stunned and lost without his sweetheart of 48 years. My sister lost without her biggest fan, greatest antagonist and most trusted ally, my little brother, only 32, too young to be without the best friend he's ever known; his wife, lost without the lady who'd become a second mother. I'm sad and angry and my heart is broken. I want answers. I want to know why she left, why they couldn't stop whatever took her away, why they couldn't slow it down, why she couldn't hang on just a few more hours. I want to know why they don't know why. I want my mom.

I know plenty of folks all over the world come here for one reason or another, and I appreciate over 100 messages I've received offering support and prayers: I won't forget it.
