Mom you were taken way too soon. You didn’t want to go. You had so much life in you right up until you took your last breath. I saw it and felt it.
What I saw you endure over the last 4 years of your life and the way in which you kept going was a strength I feel honored to have witnessed. As you know I was at pretty much the lowest anyone can get in their life when you were given six months to live. I didn’t think I had any strength left in me, let alone enough to be a caretaker. But we found a way to be strong together and it was a beautiful thing. Thank you for Raja.
The smile you somehow managed to give me a few hours before you died will forever be enshrined in my head. You smiled and then “turned out da liiiiiight”. Haha I had to make that joke and I can see you smiling and laughing right now. In fact, that might be the thing I loved about you most. Your laughter. You loved to laugh and it was so fun to make you laugh. Speaking of which, and maybe you can already see, but your dwarf lettuce is doing just fine. 😂
Mom I really can’t believe you are gone and the pictures I chose are of you holding me as I came into this world, and then me holding you as you left. Thank you mom. I love you.
