Ten days ago NY’s mother wasn’t feeling well. She went to the hospital and was admitted for pneumonia. Because of her age, diabetes and other age related issues, we were given grim statistics and within a few days hospice was sent in to counsel with the family. This afternoon she died peacefully while surrounded by three of her six children and other family members.
I’m very thankful for this little lady. I’m thankful for the children she raised and especially for her oldest son, my sweet husband. She taught him to be a gentleman and to treat everyone with the utmost respect. I’m honored to be a member of her family.
Give your parents and in-laws a hug. Thank them for bringing you or your sweet love into this world.
