For friends and family who may not yet know, Jason and I lost a very special part of our family and hearts.
My sweet and beautiful, inside and out, Mother-in-law passed away Monday, September 22, 2008.
From the very beginning of my relationship with Jason, Debbie welcomed me into her life, family and home. I miss so much, the time we spent together. This morning, I sat outside, where we sat together, many times, where I would come and sit and talk, sometimes paint my nails, whatever it may have been, while Debbie smoked, read or just sat outside enjoying the day and her garden. It is very hard to lose anyone that you love, most especially, someone who was such a huge part of your life.
I feel so amazingly blessed for the time I had both with Debbie, or as I referred to her, Mom, because she was a Mother to so many, including many friends and family members. I don't think you are ever ready to lose anyone you love and I realize now, even when someone may be sick, it is not any easier than losing someone who passes unexpectedly, as my Dad did. Everyone asks, was it sudden? And, to me, yes, it still was. I definitely did not know that when she came to visit with other family members in July, that it would be the last time I laughed with her, hugged her or just enjoyed her company in silence.
For someone who I may have only known a short few years, I will miss her for a lifetime.
I love you, Debbie-Mom. I miss you.
