Well, as many of you in the MFP community know, my mom had been very ill for the past 9 months after Dad passed away last August. She fought bravely against cervical cancer, dementia, high blood pressure, and heart disease. She just couldn't fight any more. She had a massive stroke on Thursday May 22 and on Friday May 23 she passed away with family by her side. Her funeral will be
Wednesday. While I am so so so so sad without her, I am so happy she is with Dad again and no longer suffering. I'm glad she didn't have to linger long after the stroke. She was laughing up until then. Thank you for all your well wishes, prayers and concerns over the last 9 months.

    The Legacy

    When I die, give what is left of me to children.
    If you need to cry, cry for your brothers walking beside you.
    Put your arms around anyone and give them what you need to give to me.
    I want to leave you with something, something better than words or sounds.
    Look for me in the people I have known and loved.
    And if you cannot live without me, then let me live on in your eyes, your mind, and your acts of kindness.
    You can love me most by letting hands touch hands and letting go of children that need to be free.
    Love does not die, people do.
    So when all that is left of me is love...
    Give me away...:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    My prayers are with you and your family that your pain and loss will heal quickly. My Dad has been real sick since last fall and the Dr's. didn't think he would make it through Thanksgiving but he is still going and not doing too bad. I know the roller coaster of feelings you've had to deal with. It's horrible to see your strong and dependable parents in a weak and vulnerable state. I hate it. I pray that you are doing ok and try to stay with your nutrition plan as much as possible. I'm sure your Mom would have wanted you to stay focused on your healthy path.
