Ten years ago today marks the last time I saw my lovely mom alive. I went to her home thinking it was just another normal day. She was still in her nightgown when I got there (around 10:00 AM). That was unusual and should have told me something. She said she was so tired that she hadn't even made her bed! Another unusual thing (for her, not necessarily for me!). So I said I would make it for her, and I did. Asked her if she needed/wanted me to do anything else for her and she said no. Who knew that less than 24 hours later, she would be gone? Certainly not me. Had I known, I would have never left her side.
Sorry to post such a sad note, but the memory of that day and the days that followed are with me forever. We never know when our time will end, or that of our loved ones. So make sure your words are sweet, your time spent together precious and the "I love you" is never left unsaid. Try to live life with no regrets!
Happy Independence Day!
Are you trying to make me cry at work? I go over the day of my dad's passing over and over and wonder if I said my usual I LOVE YOU or if i knew something was wrong. Many Blessings and I LOVE YOU!

"The guardian angels of life fly so high as to be beyond our sight, but they are always looking down upon us." That was the quote of the day on my site when I got here today! How perfect for us, since all of our parents are now our guardian angels! I had a tough day on Friday - cried alot by myself. But my family helped cheer me up later that night. I know I didn't say "I love you" to my mom..we just weren't that kind of family, but I hope she knew that I did. And now we are getting better about saying it to each other! I love you too, my lil California Angel!!
