Not being sure where I want to start this, I will say that I lost my mom back in April of this year. She was ninety-two.
41 , I was not expecting her to
42 and I don’t think she was expecting it either. I was very close to my mom, being an only child. We did have
43 on the surface, but we still had a close relationship
44 those.
Being newly married less than a year, and having moved a
couple of times
45 , I have had more changes recently in my life than at any other point of my fifty-four years. Stability is one of the gifts that Mom
46 me and it had so many
47 that I wasn’t aware of until now. My husband and I have made some
48 to Mom’s home and will be moving at the end of next week. It is now our home, but it still has my
49 heart in it. It’s where I grew up, and there are many
50 that will live there with us. At the same time, I am looking forward to
51 some very happy and memorable ones with my husband.
Mom
52 such a big part in my life. Our lives were
53 woven because she gave me her values which have become strongly
54 in the woman I am today. I don’t have any children whom I could
55 these on to. However, Mother’s values affect me every day with the
56 I have with others, whether I know them or not. I hope Mom would be
57 of who I am, what I’ve become because of her, and of
58 I am going to live with my
59 . She gave me everything I needed to know in life: respect others, and give help to others who
60 it most. I love you, Mom, and I will never forget you.
