Mom

Carol Collins
July 4, 1954
Wedding Day

Mom passed away on January 26, 2011. She had been ill, but the doctors had taken her out of the ICU and put her back into a regular room. It seemed like she was safe for awhile. That all ended later in the day when my brother called asking me if I wanted to say goodbye to Mom. He held the phone up to her ear and I told her I loved her. I didn't say "goodbye."

Mom, you taught me what it was to be a strong woman and, even though our beliefs differed, to stand up for my beliefs. I love you.

Off for a Few Days

I will not be posting for a few days so I can attend the funeral services for my mother.
