It’s all over now.
Today, ok well yesterday, just after 9:30pm my beloved mother and best friend decided she has had enough and went to join God and all His angels in His kingdom. Mom is now pain free, and free of the horrible shell she’s been stuck with for the past year and a half. And she’s finally, once and for all, rid of Ron!! The best part, I think.
Hospice called me Friday at work to tell me mom had taken a severe down turn. She had not eaten, drank, or taken any of her medications since Wednesday. This morning they put her on oxygen. She could no longer speak with words, but she spoke volumes with her beautiful green eyes and did manage to grace us with several smiles today.
She got to see Mikayla, Chris and I. My brother managed to not be a total idiot and came down to see her. I did have to put up with sitting with Ron all day, but we did manage to keep it pretty neutral.
They took her to the same mortuary that took care of her parents, so I know she will be in good hands. My worry is that Ron now has the ultimate decision, to bury her proper in a casket, or have her cremated. Mom and I are Catholic, so she needs to be buried properly… I fear Ron will do as he wants, as usual. He will most likely choose the cheapr path of cremation. This does upset me, because I know it’s not what she would want. Unfortunatly, as it’s gone this whole time, I will get absolutely no say in the matter.
I had to come on her and blog this. In a way, it is also a tribute to my mom. My mom was my best friend. We did everything together. Shopping, movies, you name it. She was the most wonderful, giving person I’ve ever known, and I know she will be truly missed by a large amount of friends as well as our family in New England.
I do wish she had been better during my pregnancy, and that she had had more time with Mikayla. It truly saddens me that my daughter will never really know her grandmother.. who would have spoiled her rotten and I would have loved it!! Mom was so excited when I finally got pregnant last year.
Rest forever in peace Mom! I love you forever and and going to miss you so much!!!
To all my buddies here, and especially my Tribe… thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here for me. To support me and love me through this journey. I will most likely be taking the week off from work, but I don’t know how much I will be on BS. Will see.. I’ll probably need you guys a lot.
