Even today our hearts are still heavy. We miss our mother, my father his wife, her siblings their sister and her friends, their friend. Things truly have not been the same and never will be, but things have moved on, as life always will, And no matter the struggles we made a promise to our beloved Susan, my beloved mother, that we would be okay. That we would continue despite the pain, and so we have. Things could be better, but they could also be much worse.
We miss our mother. She had a shine and a bigger heart than any of us.
