Exactly one year ago today I went to pick up you for what we hoped would be your last DR appt. The femoral artery bypass surgery was a success, your feet were healed and we were planning a trip to celebrate. I pulled up to your house and was surprised to not see you waiting out front. I went to the back porch and it was locked. Panic instantly set in and I literally ripped the door from its hinges trying to get the door unlocked. I finally get inside and run to your room and see you peacefully laying in bed. Mom.....Mom no response. I touch your head and realize that you are gone, this moment will be forever frozen in my mind. I go to call 911 and I can barely hear the operator over the screaming. I slowly realize that Im the one screaming.....sounds Ive never heard before. The chaos of sirens, strangers and questions....so many questions...so many tears, thousands of tears. So many times since this day my life changed Ive wondered why? I look back to your last week and it becomes clear I was being prepped me for this day, unbeknownst to me, and maybe to you too. I know now that I was supposed to find you, it was all part of a master plan. I have missed you every minute of everyday since. Thank you for giving your last I love you. Thank you for making me who I am today. Thank you for showing me unconditional love. Most of all thank you for being my mom. Until we meet again
