if i have learned anything from having my mom die literally in my arms that night- is that for goodness sake- and your own sanity... dont take your loved ones for granted.
how i wish i had the time back that i squandered while mom was here with us. how i wish i had known id only have 2 short years with her after katrina took her place and she moved in with us.
unless you have had it happen to you, you will never never know how terribly painful and heart breaking it is to lose your mother.
even if she irritates you or whatever- dont ever leave her or treat her like dirt- because it will haunt you for the rest of your life.
i thank the lord for the time i did have with mom.
there really is no replacement for a wonderful mother like i had.
