That was a great letter Laura. I don't even know if I could match what you did. It really made me cry. I have tried not to do that in the many years that she has passed, but then now after 13 years I stop to think where did the time go? I remember plain as day the night she went. I was there and still til this day can't believe how I managed everything. Now to think of going through that again, I just can't imagine. I will write a letter to her soon. I have so many things to say to her.
I started reading this and only got through one paragraph before my throat started closing and tears started stinging my eyes...and that was at 8am. It is now 1:15pm and i am only about 2/3 of the way...I'll get through it eventually, you know how hard it is for me to feel sad =
Wow, this is a touching and deeply personal letter. The stories you shared really made it clear just how close you and your mother were. They brought home how courageous she was in her battle with cancer, even at the most difficult times. This couldn't have been an easy letter to write, but it is a real tribute to your mom. Thanks for sharing it.
