Lost my Mom today

Post by David Christmas »

I've been with my dear Momma all my life, and today I watched her precious life leave. We always have lived close and then she moved in with us for more than 4 years ago suffering from dementia. I will dearly miss her, but I know she is in a much better place. RIP my dear mother
