It’s done…

I received the call this morning. She finally went home.

I wish it would not have taken this long, but I am relieved she is finally at peace.

At the same time, she lived on almost 30 years of borrowed time. The doctors told her that she wouldn’t live long enough to see me turn 2 years old. I turned 30 this year, and spent the day with her. The memories she gave me, the things she taught me, they all added up to one great foundation of life for me…and I will forever be grateful to her. I wouldn’t have this feisty independent spirit without her.

For all those who have held my family in your thoughts and prayers…thank you.
