Stoic and strong but now she's gone...


My Mom passed away on Monday September 26th. She took her last breath while I was holding her in my arms. I watched her suffer for those last few days, and it will take me a long time for that visual to dull to the point where it doesn't rip me apart.

Today was her funeral.


I miss her already...





*the above photo is of my Mom when she was about 17. I've always loved this picture of her. Glad the boyfriend called me, because she told him not to. My poor little Mom, she was trying to protect me.

Dear Stacy,

I am very sorry for your loss.

I hope that sympathy coming from me and others who read your blog, and from those who have the luck of knowing you personally, will give you enough energy and strength to go through this heart breaking moment in your life.

Be strong. Remember your mother, and treasure all the happy times you had, and forget about the bad ones.

Keep working. Keep loving people around you, and by doing so you will honor your mother's memory and life.

Mihailo
