My mom and I were very close. Now that I've had time to process and heal from the loss, I can say that her and I were the closest. I took her to all of doctor appointments, took her to see her cousin in Pennsylvania, and she really counted on me to be there for her. She always could count on me! I didn't do a 'daughterly duty', I was actually involved in her daily life! I've never lost a parent that cares for me before and I can't believe how hard it was! But she knew i was there at the hospital in her last moments! I felt it! She heard me say 'Mom, I'm here'! I held her hand and got to say my good-bye! I took the loss hard! But she's still with me in everything I do! ❤️
