In addition to missing Mom tremendously today, my first year in 69 that I don’t have her here as she died Sept. 2018 at age 94, two thoughts stand out. After I told her I was diagnosed with late stage, incurable cancer, and broke down on several occasions when we discussed this, on at least three separate occasions she looked at me directly in the eyes and said, with all conviction, “you’re going to be OK”. In those moments I believed her and it made me feel better and smile. I also told her several times that I was so worried that I would be unable to be with her every day during my treatments. To this day I believe that entered into her decision to finally let go. Had it not been for that I feel sure she would have hung in awhile longer cause she enjoyed her life, as limited as it was at the end, and was an incredibly tough lady. A Mom consoling and sacrificing till the very end. Today, anytime I’m feeling down I can look up at the sky and think she’s lookin down and smiling at me and I smile back at her. It makes me feel better and I believe I’m “going to be OK”.
