An unfortunate thing happened yesterday. A lady that I work with had her mother living with her for the past few months and over the christmas season her mother fell and broke her foot. Because her mother was quite old, she had to stay in the hospital and she was there for quite some time. Yesterday at 2:00 she received that news that her mother had passed away. She held it together at work for the last 2 and a half hours(she decided that she wanted to finish working the rest of the day). She said that she has been expecting this to happen for a week and she was prepared to say goodbye. She shed a few tears at work and we did with her. She said to me that even though her mother was old and it was her time to go that it is still hard because you only have one mom. Then she told me to go see my mom and give her the biggest hug. And that was all that I wanted to do.
I couldn't imagine life with out my mom. I feel like if I didn't have her then my whole world would just fall apart. She has given so much to all four of her kids and she loves us more than we can understand. She does so much for us even now. She is my best friend and I need her. When ever I need someone to turn to I know that she is always there. When I need support for something I know that she will always support my hopes and dreams. When I need someone to talk to she always has an open ear and an encouraging word. Mothers are the greatest blessing that God can give someone and I am thankful for mine everyday.
Mom, I love you.

I love her, too.
Sometimes God gives us a reminder (in the form of someone else's parent passing)that we need to let our parents know how much we love and appreciate them. I know this is true because I had a co-worker pass away on the job a few years back. He was only 62 and the first thing I did when I got home was call my dad and let him know how I felt. It's sad when someone you know loses a loved one but I think it helps us remember our loved ones. It's good to know that the woman who married my son has such a good relationship with her parents. I feel a lot better knowing that you are an extremely loving person not just to Ian but to all of us. We love you guys whole bunches!!!!
Thank you baby. You have a way with words and they always make me cry. I love you more than you'll ever know. Please don't let me make you fell guilty, ever. I have a tendancy to do that sometime. I love you both so mcuh and am so roud of you. Love Forever, Mom or Franna to Ian
