My mother was a lovely soul who sacrificed dearly for her family and loved us all. I loved her back and I could always count on her sound advice and good conversations. I am so grateful to have had a mother like her! I cannot believe she is gone from us now; I still hear her voice but I find comfort knowing she lived a long life and it was her time. We were blessed to be with her as a family her last few days and tell her how good of a mother she was, how much we appreciated her, and how much we love her. She told me "I tried". I told her "you succeeded"! Besides her grandchildren, she told me it was "very cool" that she now has a great-grandson, Jax (2 yr old) and she enjoyed some quality visits with him, the last one just before Covid kept everyone out.
If my mother read this I am sure she would find some grammar to correct, but I try Mom ;) I Love you
