It’s so nice to be in my own home and just knowing I will not be doing any big traveling any time soon. It’s been a long few months, between the traveling and all that’s happened. You know what; it’s really been a long few years. I was afraid when the phone rang, worries it would be bad news & as time went on I was worried it would be the worst news, I’d never imagine I’d be the one making the phone call. That was very tough. I wanted to be there for my brother, but my Dad had to know. I remember thinking of my Dad just moments after and how terrible I feel for him, he’s got to be so lonely. Then my Dad arrived and we just sat there. I didn’t want to leave her, I didn’t want to leave her alone in that room, the last four walls she saw the last 11 days of her life. But my Dad was ready to go and he’s the only parent I have left. I’ve lost the 2 closest women in my life, my Gram and my Mom. The two women who have taught me so much and help me become the woman I am today. I still miss my Gram & ache for my Mom.
