I love you mom

I honestly didn't believe that I'd be doing a post like this for quite sometime- it's so surreal. My mom lost her battle with pancreatic cancer yesterday. I had come home a few weeks ago to help out around the house and take her to treatments, but she was getting progressively worse each day and then took a turn for the worse Thursday night. We were all with her yesterday morning as she took her last breaths and she went peacefully without pain and little suffering. My mom was an incredible woman who will be missed dearly by many. As a RN, she helped countless people and touched many lives. Parker was truly the light of her life and I feel so lucky that she had the chance to spend time with her only grandbaby in the past few weeks- he held such a special place in her heart and put a smile on her face even in her last days. My very pregnant sister flew in yesterday and I know my mom will be watching over her in the next few weeks as baby Lucia will be entering the world VERY soon. We love you so much mom and I am so lucky to have you as my angel watching over us. I will miss you everyday for the rest of my life.

I was so sorry to hear about your mom! The one time I met her in the OB clinic, she was such a nice person and I could tell she was just beaming with love for Parker. I could also tell how proud she was of you! You are in our thoughts!
