We wouldn't have guessed that this would be our last Christmas with Mom. She had fought a valiant fight with cancer for a year and a half. Even though she had bad days, she didn't give up and she somehow found that contagious smile of hers to share with us and participate in the life that was hers. This was Christmas Eve at her home-we had a really nice time. We shared Christmas Dinner though she could not eat, we played a few games of Sequence, laughed and cried. I had the best Mom! I hope everyone feels that way about their Mom. She said to me that week we had before her passing on January 2nd..."I feel trapped. I can't do anything for anyone." Mom loved life, but was tired of the life that has become hers. I believe she decided it was her time. We miss her so much, but know she is enjoying perfect health now-no worries-and...she is enjoying that everlasting meal that she could no longer enjoy here on earth.
