Describe the last difficult “goodbye” you said.

I’d have to say the last truly difficult goodbye was with my Mother. She was a stubborn woman. A woman who absolutely strummed the strings to her own guitar. My Mother did everything her way and on her terms. If you didn’t like it, you didn’t have to be around her. My Mother was so funny and so upbeat most of the time. Ready for anything. That woman gave me so many comforting memories and it carries me through the grief of her being gone.

Our last goodbye before she left this world was very emotional as to be expected. I knew it would be the last I saw her alive. I begged her for months to move in with me so I could take care of her during her last days. She wanted to be independent even till the end. I hugged her when I dropped her off back to her home and three days later my Mamma was gone.

Struggling every day without my Mother is definitely something that I believe will never go away but my mom’s dynamic personality and her love for me has and will always be my comfort.

I love you Mamma!
