I remember it because this would be the day my mom would slip out of this old world and take flight to a much better place after battling the worst case of cancer I have ever seen for a little over 2 years.
I must say the good Lord sure painted her an amazing winter landscape to look down on as she left Oklahoma headed to her new home in the sky with all the glistening ice and snow, I can only imagine how beautiful that must have been.
Its been 14 yrs now, tho it sure does not seem that long....
My mom was a very talented woman for those of you interested in knowing, when I was a child I learned early she could fix just about anything. If we had an appliance go out she would tear into it and more times than not she would have it fixed and running again in no time. Having such a talent could also quieten the most annoying toys we had.
She could draw fairly well but most of all my mom was an amazing writer, one department I did not take after her at all in, sure wish I had tho, and Im sure you are wishing I had too if you have read this far.
Momma wrote songs and poetry. One song she wrote years ago reads as if Kitty Wells herself had wrote it. I can still hear momma singing it. And I have always thought it would be nice to hear someone who sings professionally sing it.
Still to this very day I will get upset and try to find the reasons why she had to leave me at such a young age and why my girls had to grow up not knowing her. Stormi is a lot like her in many ways, looks and creative talents.
I try to tell myself maybe Im lucky I got to have the years I had with her as I know some have lost parents at a much younger age. Tho I try to comfort myself with thoughts such as that it is never enough to help me understand.
One thing is for sure, no matter their age or the amount of time we get, it is never long enough with the ones we love the most~
