Thoughts on My Mother



Darin and I came to see my mother this last weekend. We knew it was time to come and spend some time with her. Darin hadn't seen her since her birthday in March when we put on the BIG birthday bash. We had a good weekend and mom was doing fairly well. When Sunday came the tears started to flow as Darin said goodbye to my mom. My husband rarely cries but he did that day. He told my mom not to worry about me, that he would take care of me. What a special moment that was. It all seems surreal to me and I wonder if one day I will wake up from this nightmare. This whole experience has been hard but in a way it has taught me a lot. #1 Dont ever take life for granted. #2 No regrets...Make every day count. Im so glad that we have come to visit my parents alot over the last 9 years that we have been married. We come up at least every 3 months and have stayed with my parents. I am so glad that our family has spent that time with my mom. I don't have any regrets and I know that will comfort me.

That brought me to tears. What an awesome memory. It brings back my memories of saying good bye to my Dad (21 months ago) and my mother-in-law (36 months ago).

I think that may be one of the sweetest pictures I've seen out of the many taken the last several weeks. When I first met him at Ricks I knew Darrin was a love. This pic proves me right. You're a lucky girl to have such a sweet and caring Husband.
