It was a year ago today at 7:30 am that i said "goodbye" to my best friend. 365 days, 52 weeks, 12 months, 17,271 hours. i don't think that i am any different or that it hurts any more for me than anyone else, i think the hardest part is being an only child and not having any one person to talk to our "mom" about. Right up to the very end mmy mom still had her wit and sense of humor, her positive outlook and her will to live like no other. My mom NEVER complained about anything, i remember saying to my mom while she was in ICU "mom, if you are in pain you need to say so, so they can give you something so your blood pressure stays down." and her response to me was "honey, i need to feel a little pain, it makes you stronger"
I'm not sure the pain i have felt this past year has made me any stronger!! Without a shadow of a doubt i know that without my husband, soul mate, rock, love of my life, and best friend Kelly i would have never gotten through this rough time, he has held me every step of the way and wiped away more tears than you could ever imagine. I love this man so much.........heck i won't go to Paris only because i cant be away from him that long!!
And then there has been all of my friends who through every yard sale, estate sale, auction, cleaning, packing, moving, memories, tears..........how will i ever be able to repay each and every one of you for everything you have done?
And to my sweet daughter Kelsie, thank you for needing me, i will always be here for you, we will be best friends forever!
I just hope that each and every one of you know how much i love you. Thank you for helping me make it through each day,
lisa
