Mom I will miss you very much. we have been together for so long and through a lot. I was very happy that I was there through it all. I don't know what i am going to do now. I know i still have everyone else but who will I fight with to stop smoking and drinking so much water. and to make sure that you took your pills and shot. Well I am glad that you will no longer be in pain and wont have to take so many pills. Mom I love you so much and will miss you so much.
