- About my Loss:
- On February 22 my mom was taken home to be with our heavenly father. Everything happen so fast that day my little sister called me told me ems was picking up my mom and that she was not responding. I had just talked to my mom the night before and she had complained that she had a migraine and was going to take something for it and try and go to bed before we hung up I asked her a question about benadryl and told her about a dream about death that I had and before we hung up we told each other good night and I love you. Never did i imagine that would be our last conversation. I live and hour an 15 min away from them and i drove that morning but by the time I got to the hospital the er dr. had already told my sis and dad that she was basically brain dead but the transferred her to houston tried to life flight but weather was bad so ambulance was the only other choice. When we arrived to the hospital in houston the dr. their did a catscan and showed us how much bleeding she had in her brain basically there was so much blood it was crushing her brain. Ill never forget those words as they haunt me every night we can keep her alive until yall are ready...... We waited for all the family to get there and on that night I held my moms hand and at 8:36p.m. my mommy took her last breath....

Miss me
My husband bought me a scroll with this poem on it I just wanted to share with everyone it does not take the pain away but it does help for a little while at least it does for me.
Miss Me, But Let Me Go.
When I come to the end of the road,
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in gloom-filled rooms,
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little--but not too long,
And not with your head bowed low;
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss…
