Until I see you again...

Marilyn Davis Smith

December 29, 1954 - February 5, 2014

One week and one day ago...it feels like so much longer.

I stood by my Mother's side as she took her last breath.

She fought for almost nine years.  Surgeries, chemo, radiation...  Not once complaining.

Her battle is over.  

She finally has freedom.

No more pain.  No more cancer...such a horrible disease.

I know she is at peace now, but it still hurts deeply.  I just can't imagine my life without her in it...

My heart has forgotten how it's supposed to beat.  Forever changed.

My grief is beyond words.  How do you say goodbye to your Mother?  She was so young...
