Death of my Mom
The view from my Mom’s back porch.
My Mom died in her sleep Sunday. It was a shock. My daughter and her husband found her lying in the bed Sunday afternoon. I hate that my daughter had to find her grandma. We had her Celebration of Life service on Tuesday. It was really nice.
She like to sew until she had to have cataract surgery and she had glaucoma. She always watched a ballgame everyday no matter who played. She was a Chicago Cubs fan and an Atlanta Braves fan and a University of TN fan. She had a Braves hatchet that she used with the games. All of her favorite things were included in the Celebration service.
She had several friends tell of stories about her. My daughter paid a wonderful tribute to her Grandma and her brother helped her to read it. It was a very sweet moment.
I wrote a poem for her that I have posted as Turn On The Radio. She always had the radio playing in every room and the carport. She like Patsy Cline and Nat King Cole and we played both at her service.
My Mom was my best friend, my support and my rock. I miss her physical presence greatly but her spirit surrounds me.
