Morbid

I don't know why this thought struck me when it did, or why it struck me at all. I'd rather it hadn't. As I was closing my laptop before turning in for the night, it struck me. Someday, my mother will die and I'll have to go to her funeral.

I've always known that, of course. It's the first time I've believed it, though, and I'm really rather upset right now.

Its a horrible feeling knowing eventually your parents will die. -hugs- When my mom went into the hospital for both of her surgeries for her brain.. I'd be watching her from behind the plastic expecting to hear that she didn't make it, and that we'd have to prepare her funeral.

Those moments are always the hardest. Your chest clenches up, and you feel like you can't breathe.

Just call her when you get up and remind her that every minute of her wonderful life that you love her.

And of course I get her voicemail. Ah, well.

I think I'll call my sister while I'm at it. And think evil things about Dad.
