2 years

It's so hard to believe that it's been two years since I lost my Mama. It's been a long, hard two years since she's been gone. There has been so many times that I wanted to call her. Whether it be to tell what was going on, or just to hear her voice. Luckily, I can hear her voice saying my name whenever I think of her. Hopefully, I will never forget.
For those that don't know, last month, I lost my Daddy. He had a tough time battling cancer over his last several months. I believe that if he would have better doctors (especially his primary care physician) he would still be with us and getting better. However, he is no longer in pain and it makes my heart feel good knowing that Mama and Daddy are back together. They were married 48 years when she passed but they had known each other since they were ages four and nine. Mama always said that she stayed married to him for that long to get back at Daddy for him picking on her so much when they were children, and she wasn't close to being finished getting back at him. LOL Now, she can continue her life's work.
I saw a quote yesterday that said "Love your parents and treat them with loving care. For you will only know their value when you see their empty chair." It really hit home. You never know what you have and what you take for granted until it is no longer there.
I'm sorry if this post is sad. I just really needed to get this off of my chest.
Take care of one another and love one another. If you are still fortunate to have your parents or grandparents, give them a call.
Love to you all!
