The 5 year anniversary of my mom's passing

By
Industry Observer

 

My mother was an amazing woman, she had her dentistry degree and had graduated number one in her class. In the entire class there were only 2 women; her and her best friend Violet. I am named after my mother. She has been the most influential person in my life, she taught me the importance of family how to love and be loved. She also taught me not to comprise my principals; in today’s world it is tough (that will be another blog later.) Today we celebrated her life went to some special places in her life and spent time at the cemetery; though she is never far from my thoughts no matter how much fun I am having. She was the single most unselfish person I have ever known, she was very giving almost too much so. She loved her family and friends fiercely and would honestly do anything for anybody. I miss her but am glad she is no longer suffering. Mom you are very missed and very loved.

Yolanda, you came from a beautiful family!  The loss of a beloved mom is always difficult.  Both of my parents had passed by the time I was 32.

Hi Yolanda,

This was a wonderful tribute to your special mother. I am sorry she died too soon and I feel the same about my mother. My mom had a stroke and died at 88 yrs old. She had been so active; driving, shopping, beauty shop weekly, playing bridge, and going out to eat every day. I miss her every day since she died on July 9, 2009 so I can relate to your post. God Bless you Yolanda and a part of her will always be with you.

I too miss my mom almost more as the years go by. She passed in 2007. If I was was going to the Greek church today, I would have lit a candle for both. Will do so the next time I go. cheers cvc

It is never easy to have a parent pass on and it doesn't get easier with time! Both of my parents are also gone from this life. May she be watching you and smiling, Yolanda.

Hi Yolanda, such a great photo and post in memory of your mom. My mother died at the young age of 52 with pancreatic cancer after giving birth to 12 children.  I was 21 years old when she died.

Hi Yolanda,

I am sure there are so many of us who have lost our beloved parents and these posts make others realize that they are not alone as some cannot put their feelings to words. This was a beautiful tribute to your mother.
