3 years ago today at 6AM my family lost this beautiful little silver haired lady, my Mom, JOYCE HEMBY. My heart absolutely broke in half as I sat there next to her bed and held her hand as she took her final breath. Though it was an extreme honor to be there for her it was also the toughest blow Ive ever experienced all in a wretched heartbroken moment of surreal despair . Though time has certainly mended the mournful emotions, my life has been forever changed since her passing. Christmases, Thanksgiving, family reunions, birthdays, and life in general just seems to have a certain subliminal melancholy void…. So, what I wouldnt give to be able to turn back the clock and walk into her immaculate kept home just one more time and smell the aroma of baked goods hovering in the air like the love that hovered throughout the whole house. Never thought Id ever miss the words get up son, youre gonna be late for school, so, what time did you get home last night or well then stop looking at your brother if it makes him mad :-) …. But I tell ya, the words that I sure do miss hearing her say are words like I am so proud of you son, and I love you with all my heart. Then of course there were the words that I never actually heard but certainly felt them in my life and thats the many times that she mentioned my name in prayer….. Those will always echo in my heart. I love and miss you so much Mom…. Tommy
