My mom has passed. Though I have lost the best mother anyone could hope for I am grateful for the year we had together. I am grateful to have had a years worth of laughs, lunches, holidays, movies and sleepovers with her. My mother showed such bravery and courage in the end. She faced words that noone ever wants to hear, and she did so with absolute selflessness. Till the time she could no longer speak she was still giving of herself,wanting her bingo friends to have one more gift from her, her granddaughters picked out jewlery with her, she was making sure we would thank the nurses and all the doctors, and she asked just one thing of each of us and that was to take care of each other.My mother taught us to love hard, deeply and passionatley, to say it and mean it every day.
