Mom, A year has passed since you left this earth. I am so thankful I was able to give you the dignity you deserved in your passing. I know how much you hated those horrible doctors and hospital, and once we knew what was wrong with you, I had no question in my mind that you belonged at home, with your loved ones. It was not an easy task caring for you those 6 weeks at home, but because I loved you so much I never gave it a second thought. Oh how I miss seeing your smiling face when I come home from work, or those words you always spoke to me "Here's my beautiful daughter". Remember how I always joked that I was the only daughter you had? And I remember how you would tell me you worried about me, though at the time I never really understood it. I thought you were worried I wouldn't handle your passing, but you knew something I didn't, did you. You knew that I would loose my beloved husband 6 weeks after your passing didn't you. That's what you were worried about wasn't it. Even though you knew your time was short, you were still worrying about me. Oh Mom, I hope you know how much I miss you, and I hope I made your last days comfortable. Thank you for all you did for me over the years, and being both a mother and a father to me for those 40 years after Dad passed on. Now you are up there with him, and I know my Rich is right there with you. I Miss you Mom, and I love you.

Your loving daughter, Diane
