I Lost My Mom on Sunday.
I'm sure some of you are wondering why I was MIA for a while, and that would be why. She unexpectedly passed due to lung cancer related complications Sunday night and it happened to fast that it kind of put everyone around here in shock. A part of me still can't believe it even though I was in the ICU the night before crying over her bed and saying goodbye.
The one thing pulling me through is that everything I believe and feel tells me she's in a better place, and that she's finally up there with my father and sister. I can just imagine him in full dress-uniform with his hat in hand, and the sound of dress-boots echoing down the hallway as he walked into that hospital room and told her it was time to come home and that her daughter was waiting to see her again. They may have been divorced but they remained close-friends.
My stepdad even mused that as we we're driving up the hospital Sunday morning after we got the call, she was probably already up there sitting at the kitchen table and drinking coffee with my grandparents just the way she always did when we went to visit before they passed away.
