My mom died 17 years and two days ago.  Somehow I didn’t remember this on Thursday, the 11th of May that it was the anniversary of her death.  It was a Friday back in 1995 when she died.  We had her visitation on Mother’s Day and we buried her that Monday.

I had been to the hospital in the town of Farmington MO where she spent her last few days and had just gone home about 3:00 pm.  When I got home from the 2 hours drive back to St. Louis I got the call that she had passed away.  I didn’t have a cell phone and they had no way of getting hold of me until I got home.  I got back in the car and drove back down to Farmington to see Mom before they took her away.  My aunt (Iva) had come up from Florida to stay with my mom for the last couple of months.  They had left her in her bed in her room until I returned.  I wish they had taken her away before I got there.  I felt bad for her roommate that she had to be there.  I was able to make the funeral arrangements while I was there.   So, Mother’s Day is always a little bittersweet for me.  Anyway, I hope you all have a good Mother’s Day.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Thanks Mary M
