It is getting close to the one year anniversary of my mom's death and it is getting harder for me the closer it gets. I posted this pic on facebook with this story.
One day I had a swim meet and my mom wasn't able to come. So she sent a note with one of her co-workers who would be there. It said "Christina, Even though I am not there. I hope you know I am thinking of you and wishing you the very best luck. Love you always. Just look up and you will see me yelling for you always. Love mom" I miss her so much but I know she is cheering me on in a better place.
It is the one memory that I will never forget from when I was with my mom, when she was whole as a person. I try to remember who she was before the Alzheimer's took over her body. I saved this note she wrote me in a journal I was writing in high school. I am so happy it touched me and that I kept it. She was an amazing mom and she did so much for my sister and me. I feel like near the end I took for granted how close we use to be when I was a teen but all I can do now is not regret anything and try to be as great of a mom as she was.
