The only reason this is the 2nd life altering experience of 2011 is because it happened after my surgery. It is by far the MOST LIFE ALTERING experience EVER.
On December 15, 2011,my mother passed away very unexpectedly. She had gone in for a routine colonoscopy and ended up dying. They punctured her bowel and she went into cardiac arrest and bled out. My one saving grace with this is that I was not there to witness what she went through, but this is also what haunts me today...the fact that I WASN'T there!
My mom was a healthy 80yr old woman and while I was adopted, she was the only mother I ever knew! There are so many days that I just want to pick up the phone and call her, but I can't and that is so hard to deal with. I need advice on how to handle things and she isn't available. Well, she is, but it is a little harder to realize what she is trying to tell me.
I feel really bad for my Dad as she was his Rock! He is doing ok, but very sad. So, the end of 2011 wasn't quite what I expected it to be. There have also been some issues with my oldest and my youngest. The oldest I cannot discuss, but the youngest...well, that will be another blog post :)
This is how I like to remember my mom!
