Just want to let everyone know the last few months have been some of the hardest in my life, I have been dealing with neck issues and slipped disc in my back. My health I have never really took serious as I have tod now. Most know I have been dealing with a year long divorce on top of all of this. My mom has been sick for several years and declining in the last year at a rapid pace.. My dad is the strongest one I have ever known, he has had a spell we couldn't figure out and the local medical around his is a joke. Finally found out that he has had a broken back for about 3 or 4 months.. Walking around in pain. He tolerates pain like no other and this is prove. The took mom to hospice and gave her just a few days left. Before I left for our fight in Florida I said my good byes not thinking I would ever see her again. We returnes home and mom was waiting on us. She stayed 11 days or so breathing once every 45-50 seconds for several days... She was surrounded by friends family and so Many loved ones by her side. The kids, grand children, great gran children cousins and just everyone..... They gave her hours to live for about 7 days. Mom was one tough cookie, dad never left her side unless we forced him to go home... And his brother would bring him right back the next morning to be by her side. My mom and dad celebrated their 53 wedding anniversary just a few days ago, not the traditional way but they was together, they had the lo e that couldn't be broken I only hope to grow my love to be like them. I took dad to lunch earlier in the day and ate some good food, he knew mom Didn't have long, to see my dad and his pain in his baby blue eyes hurt me I couldn't imagine what he was going through.... His back was hurting and legs so I was taking home hone he said what are you doing, taking you home to rest I said, he said I don't need rest I wanna go be with her... We went back down we both took a small Nap and woke Up at the same time and the kids was running around and all, I look over to dad and almost the same time we shook our fist at each other.... Something we did.... I was dozing in and out and looking at him. As he stared at mom.... And then he just started stairing at her and just smiled the biggest smile and got up and went in other room.... (LIKE HE KNEw) Not going into the haunting details that will ever be instilled in my brain, but myself and my sister did cpr on my dad until the end of his life.
Dad had passed away and when everyone went to the ER with him I stayed with mom tell her it was okay and she could go be with dad.... And I loved her more than she would ever know. The door opened to her back porch st hospice a few feet after I had already shut it.... I know in my heart it was my dad saying coming weezie it's time..... They went to be with the lord less than a few hours apart.... I'm sure mom heard dad singing I heaven and wanted to go they was ready we wasn't, not for either one of them.... If there was a flower ever to be theirs other than the yellow rose it would be a red fern.....
I want to thank my work, friends, family cousins and my karate and kickboxing crew, so many people came to the funeral to support me and my family. So may to Many to Mention school friend I have seen forever, I know dad touched everyone he ever met as did my mom. I want to say a thanks to Amy and Jimmy for doing whta they did yesterday dad mom and myself wouldn't haven't wanting anyone else in the world to do what you guys did.. It was perfect.... I want to thank Victoria for being right here beside me helping me figure this all out words can express how much I owe you. And most of all I want to thank my sister, know one knows the hours that she put in taking care of my mom. And dad not these past 2 weeks but for the past 10 years, I couldn't have done it sis, you did everything right couldn't have done any better...
And for my kickboxing and karate crew, I wanted you all. To. Know what I have been going through, this is one of the main reasons I have had to step.
