My mother passed earlier this week from a long illness.
My brothers and i bought a condo for her years ago so she could be comfortable in her retirement because a single mom trying to bring up four kids definitely makes it tough to save. We were able to keep her at home through many difficult times in the last few months but time ran out.
She did get to stay at her home almost to the end, and more than anything, that's what she wanted.
Bye Mom, I love you.
