3 years…

My Mother (1938 – 2019)

Man, oh, man… It’s been 3 years since my Mom died. I really can’t believe that it has been that long, but also with all that’s happened in the world in the last 2 years, it feels like longer than 3 years.

I really hate cancer. She was 81 years old when she died. She did live a long life and no matter how long, I wish I had one more day with her.

Gatlin Cemetery. My mother and father are both buried here. Taken Decoration Day 2022 by niece, Brittany.

We used to have conversations about my job hunt. She’d always say, “I just don’t understand why nobody will hire you.” I would respond, “Me, too.” I know she’d be so proud of me today and I know she’s smiling in Heaven knowing how I got that job we always talked about me getting. I alway want to make my parents proud. I think I have done it this time.

I love and miss you both. Today is such a sad day that three years ago today, mom died. But she went the way she wanted to with all 3 of her boys at her side and nobody else around. Peacefully and at home. RIP, Mom. Love you!
