I will miss my mom. I loved her so much because she cared from her heart for us. Besides that, she was a friend that I could talk to about my worries and do fun things like visit attractions, go out to eat, and travel on vacation. She was so strong fighting her cancer to the very end by remaining active until one week of her passing to heaven. I am inspired by my mom strength in living her life to fullest happiness. I praise God that I could share in her final living moments on earth and the weeks prior where we enjoyed doing a staycation in Des Moines and going to softball games. Mom, thanks for your love.
