There aren't enough words to describe how wonderful my mom mom was. She was my favorite person in the whole world. Every weekend mainly on Saturdays we would have either breakfast or lunch together.
One of our favorite spots was Friendly's. She would always order 2 eggs, 2 sausages, wheat toast & decaf coffee w/ only cream, no sugar That's how her mother drank it. Another favorite was Bob Evans. It was right next to Target in Turnersville; so of coarse we did a little shopping there.
Mom mom would always get her exercise in by walking around National Park. She became good friends w/ a woman named Fran Patrice. She was a great friend to my mom mom. They talked everyday. I know mom mom really appreciated their friendship.
Just last week Saturday 4/23/05Fran was in the hospital & mom mom cancelled lunch w/ me to go visit her. I know she made her feel better just by her presence. She always made me feel good when we spent time together.
She always told me how proud she was of me and how much she loved me. With her kind words, she took away any pain that I had. No matter how bad I would screw up, she never judged me or thought I was wrong. Since day 1, she always defended me and was on my side.
Mom mom was the most understanding and kind hearted woman. Because she was so good to me I would try to spend as much time with her as I could. She never wanted to go to a nail salon to get a manicure, so I brought the manicure to her. I would also give her back massages, hand massages and arm massages. She always complained about her arms being sore; so I did what I could to try to ease the pain.
The last time I saw her was Sunday 4/24/05. She and I took my cousin Danielle to Bahama Breeze for lunch. Danielle got strait A's on her report card; so we were there to celebrate. Mom mom shared coconut prawns with us, and ordered a pepsi and the black bean soup. She was afraid the soup would be too spicy, but she actually enjoyed it. She later had a taste of our desert Jose's tres leches. After lunch, we drove back to my Aunt Holly's house. Aunt Holly had made dinner for Uncle Gabe who was about to leave on business. Mom mom said she was tired and full from lunch. She was just going to go home and relax.
Wednesday 4-27-05 around 10pm, Mom mom said goodbye to us. We were supposed to have dinner around 6:30. I spoke w/ her that morning & she said she didn't feel well. She said she just wanted to lay down in her bed and rest. I told her we could re-schedule for another night. With that said, I told her I loved her and said goodbye. Later on that afternoon at 3:03pm I called her again to check up on her. She rushed me off the phone and said she just wanted to go to bed. Her voice was really different. It didn't sound like her when she normally doesn't feel well. I told her to go rest, we said I love you and that was it...
I can't believe what has happened, really happened. My family and I were so blessed to have such a beautiful woman in our lives. I know my family would agree w/ me, when I say that she will live in our hearts and souls forever.
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
