I was the one who was always there for her. She was quite the character! When everyone in her life, including friends and family, had left her, I was always there. I must admit, she did try my patience at times, but I prefer to remember all the things she taught me. Unconditional love was at the top of the list. She always cared about me and my husband and children. It was difficult being there all the time when I did have a sister that couldn't or wouldn't be there. For whatever reason, I believe she is now sorry and trying to make it up to herself. I guess that's a good thing.
At the nursing home I remember trying to remember her hands and her beautiful skin on her face. She would still get angry with me if I didn't bring the right food or if something I bought her wasn't right. She suffered from bipolar disorder pretty much her whole life. She was the one with the voice in the nursing home that spoke up for everyone. At her memorial service at the nursing home, the cafeteria was packed. She was truley missed and loved.
There isn't a day that doesn't go by that I don't think of her or remember some of the funny things she did.
Miss you Mom,
Mia
