Mom

 I just left the hospital.  Mom passed away this morning.  

When Dad died 29 years ago on Thanksgiving it left a void and I still miss him every day.  

But Mom was the matriarch of the family and this emptiness will never be filled. I usually have too many words but I am at a loss now.

She’s with Dad (and her brother Terry and all the Sweeneys, Primosches and other family and friends) in Heaven so her suffering is over. 

For Debbie and me and the rest of her family and friends it has just begun.  I miss you already Mom.
