Sandman, happy belated birthday. We share birthdays.
Unfortunately, my mom passed way last Sunday. She lived in Webster and one of my sisters lives in League City. I tried to call her on Sunday around noon. I figured that she didn't answer because she was wrapping things up at church and would call me later. The call that I got later was from my other sister Sunday evening telling me that something was wrong. My sister in League City was at my mom's place and couldn't get in. The called the police and they busted the door down and found my mom, still in her pajamas passed away.
It has been a horrible week. I have never felt that level of pain. When my dad passed away about 6 years ago, it hurt, but this was a completely different level of loss. I thought that I had another 10 years with her. I called my mom at least twice a week for most of my adult life. She was the sweetest, kindest woman I ever knew. I seriously never heard say anything bad about anyone. She forgave people that did her wrong, some who did horrible things to her.
We drove down from Missouri to Houston and spent the week taking care of everything. It was a long week.
I am a mama's boy and wear it proudly.
