2 Years Ago Today ...

It's hard to believe it has been two years since Mom slipped so quietly away from me.

I will always remember the calmness and peace of those last moments - after the months of struggle to battle back from the bleed on the brain. We won that battle. But her heart and lungs gave out in the process and we ended up losing the war.

Nonetheless, she was back "at home" - in our home, in her bed, as we had both always wanted it to be. And I can still see the look on her face as she gazed intently at a scene I could not see.

After all we had been through, I will always be so grateful to God that He allowed us that "at home" time. And that we both knew and were in agreement when "enough was enough" of all the meds and all the things to try to get better. We both knew it was time to let each other go.

And, yes, I still miss her ...
