Happy Mother's Day, Mom - Part V

You're not truly dead just as long as people remember you. And if I have my way, that is exactly what people will do. Your role as a mother began in 1967 and ended in 2013. Your death was devastating, it was the worst thing I've ever seen. When the doctor said you would probably die, my brother and I were afraid. You were a fantastic and caring mother for four and a half decades. My brother and I were the only two children that you had. When you passed away, I was miserable and it was so sad. I feel better now but your death has left a scar. It's great to know that Heaven is where you are. Back in 2013, we were miserable because you passed away. If you were still alive, I would wish you a happy Mother's Day. [Dedicated to Agnes Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away on March 6, 2013.]
