I want to hug my mom
TW: cancer, loss
My Vitamix container is squealing so I’ve been emailing with their support team to try and get it fixed or replaced. They wanted some general info and the original purchase receipt.
It was a Christmas gift from my mom years ago and she passed away last August. One of the nasty gynecological cancers. Had it removed 2 years prior, all was good, came back with a vengeance, after 1.5 months of being in the hospital every other week for a week, she chose to go on hospice and was gone 16 days later. I was holding her hand until the last breath.
So last night I went to my dad’s and had him boot up her laptop so I could search emails for receipt. Didn’t find the receipt but did see a folder for “Funeral Plans.”
I’ve been sad for almost a year now since the hospital visits started but getting reminded that she planned her own funeral and had to sit around knowing the end was close, just makes it worse.
She was an awesome person and a great mom. Loved gardening and made me promise to keep up with mine. Going after work today to buy veggies to plant. Really wish I could hug and talk to her again.
Food: pickle, banana pepper and mushroom pizza with no cheese from a bar on Mother’s Day.
