Missing my Mother may she rest in peace loving Wife, mother and daughter
I am missing my mother horribly she passed away on March 12, 2010 and I still miss her more than every. She left me with alot of memories and most importantly the faith I have with my creator. I still miss calling her several times a day just to talk to her or hear her voice. Because even when I left for the first time in my life not being near here to NJ. I still called and cried often missing her. I love my father dearly but the bond I developed with my mother after my terrible teen years was strong. She was an amazing mother always there for her kids. Nothing could stop this woman not even a chronic disease like congestive heart failure. My mother struggled for years first with high blood pressure, diabetes then congestive heart failure. After a triple bypass she lost the function of her kidneys survived bilater knee replacement surgery.
There is not enough room on my blog to detail all the amazing things she did.She raised 5 girls a difficult task in itself especially when we are all head strong. Our special bond was cooking I remember how amazing she was in the kitchen always making everything from scratch watching Julia Childs on TV. Making homemade bread and hamburger rolls. At 8 I began cooking with her and loved it ever since. As an adult we would compete on who could make something better or if one of us had a better reciepe for cheesecake. She loved the kitchen so much that even in the latter days of her life when she could not ambulate as well. In her wheelchair she would sit and cook even bake. The lost of her ability to ambulate was the worst for my mother as she was always an active women. She beat the odds there too when she fractured her femur bone and the doctors thought she would never walk again. Well my tenacious mother walked again maybe not as well as she wanted but she did. Her diabetes also depleted her eye sight and this too was a hard blow for her as her other love was reading. She fought hard in this area too undergoing eye laser treatments to stop the degenraton and she did not stop reading. She never complained about those little things she would often say "there are other out there that have more disabilities than I have and I have lived a long life." It was hard for me to understand her complaincancy in this. I would have been angry bitter and not as easily adjusting to my deficiets. My mother was the total opposite she accomadated and adjusted mopping the floor of the kitchen in her wheelchair refusing help. Cooking once a month over 60 dinners for the homeless in Orlando. Serving them herself with my father. She felt this was her giving back for all the good God had given to her.
As I right this I cry and with those tears memories arise of her. I know few people who had the faith and values my mother did. She did not just speak the talk she walked the walk everyday. She was loved by many she could relate to almost anyone. No one walked into my house and was not fed this was her greatest pleasure that and her children. For now I can not continue for it still hurts alot but I will continue at a later time for she will never be far from my thoughts and heart.
Mother although no longer near you are always with me.
