It was after 18 excruciating hours of watching her body adjust to the transition her brain, her head, and her heart had already made. I have struggled so deeply with the loss of my mother because my brother and I had watched her mind slip away for so long. We grieved ‘losing her’ for years and after our father passed, we knew the only place she wanted to be was with him. She still had moments that would make us gasp with laughter. Reminding us of the delicious witt and sass that brought us so much joy. She was the QUEEN of the one-liners. Always knowing when to throw one out to totally turn your day around. She was wildly creative and her guiding light inspires all of my artistic endeavors. Her poise and patience have always been a beacon for me when I find myself reacting quickly to things. She was elegant and naughty. She showed me there was strength in vulnerability and what a gift that is…to be utterly ok with being human. Her family was her everything…absolute EVERYTHING. And even though her body was strong, her head and her heart were elsewhere. She was ready to go. I’m truly at peace with that. But dear GOD do I miss my mother. I know she’s a breath away and I know she would have never left if she didn’t know that my brother and I would be ok. But I miss her. And the truth is, I still need her. She told me before she couldn’t speak anymore that when she goes I need to know she’s good. More than good. She’s with her beloved chihuahua, Peanut. And to put my hand on my heart and talk to her. Today and everyday, hand to heart…’mom, i love you’ ❤️」3月2日 1時42分
