My mother was the rock that was holding me and my siblings together

The person I miss the most is my mother. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2003 and passed away from this nasty disease in April 2004. She didnt even last a year after her diagnosis. My mother was the rock that was holding me and my siblings together. After her passing things have never been the same. My youngest sister and I had a disagreement about her house and didnt speak for a few months. But after that issue fizzled down we were able to put things aside and were able to become the sisters that we had been before my mother passed away. My mother was the strongest person I knew and I hope that I am or can be at least half the person she was. She was thoughtful and caring to others and would help you out with anything if it was within her power. When I was pregnant with my first child in 1996, she willingly gave up her part time job she had at an elementary school so that she could stay at home and take care of my baby while I went to work. And I know she liked her job. She had made lots of friends there too. She was my daughters first “preschool”. My mother taught my daughter everything and my daughter knew everything and more BEFORE she entered Kindergarten. I now have 3 kids. At the time of my mothers passing, my youngest was only 2 years old. Thankfully my mother got to meet all of my kids and show them how much she loved them. And my kids DID know how much she loved them and they still miss her. We talk about the times we spent with my mother and all of them were good times. I keep showing my kids the pictures I have of their grandmother so that they will never forget her. It’s now been just over 5 years since she’s passed. I cannot believe how the days fly by. But I will never forget my mother. I love her and I miss her still.
