May 26 - the day that will change me forever

We all know one day...we never quite know when...but we will loose our mommas....and that day was today for me.

96 years came to an end for her....she always said...."I want to go to sleep at night happy and just not wake up"...and that wish came true. She left this world her way💓 We don't know where she got this saying....but she said this all the time...."I am ready for Freddy"🙃

She was strong, honest and the hardest worker I have ever known. She raised her family through some really tough times and she just found a way to "get it done" no matter what.

As her memories faded so did the names and faces she once knew....but she would look at me and with a puzzled look...and then she would say you look familiar....is that you Linda?  Yes, it's me mom...and then one day that would change too.

We had many talks when we would leave on long travels....if "that day came while I was away" ...then I  would come home....but Mom....well she said it in many different  ways, but she would say.. "Don't be ridiculous, when I die I would already be gone by the time you came back. Or she would say, "Listen Lady! When you die, your sole leaves you already, the rest is just a body, I am already gone!"

So as she would have wanted....I will see her again when I return....but...I see her every time I look at my eyes in the mirror....those are my mommas eyes💗

...and at the end of the first day without my momma....I saw fireflies....or were they fireflies mixed with angel dust.......

Here's to you mom, oy oy oy
