Death of a Parent
On Tuesday January 3rd My father lost his partner in life and my brother and I lost our Mother Caroline. This is a devastating loss to not only our immediate family, but my mothers extended family as well.
I knew this day was coming and thought I was prepared. Mom's quality of life was greatly diminished after being bedridden for almost 4 years, and while I know she is in a better place, I cannot get passed my daily sorrow.
To know that I will never hear the phone ring and know it is mom hurts bad. Mom always called at the most seemingly inopportune times. That's when I knew it was her. I didn't need caller ID, because she was the one that called the home hard line the most and if it was a call that interrupted daily life, it was her on the other line. I just wish I could get interrupted one more time.
