Probably not the best place to vent, but whatever.
I lost my mother to leukemia this April. She was 63, and passed away far too young. She had me late in life, 14 years behind my brother. I'm only 26 and sadly I never got to spend time with her as an adult. She only got to meet her youngest grandchild, my daughter, only once.
I'll be visiting her grave with some flowers, and remembering the fonder memories of her from when I grew up. Definitely not an easy mother's day, but I'll smile remembering her and all she did for me.
She was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia less then a year before she passed. The illness took her quickly, even with the best medicine in the world at Northwestern Memorial.
Do yourselves a favor and make sure you take advantage of Mother's Day this year and do something special... say something nice... surprise even yourself. We don't always know what life has in store, and even if we don't make every day count, this is one where you don't need to have any reason other then the fact she's your mom to do something nice.
Happy Mother's day mom.
