Yesterday my Mom left for Pittsburgh. We moved here to Georgia when I was about 2 years old. My mother and father's families are from Pittsburgh and most of my mother's family is still there including my grandmother. My grandfather passed away last Thanksgiving and my grandmother's health has been declining ever since. She has been living on and off with my Aunt E for the past couple months with a nurse who comes and checks in on her a couple times a week. The reason for my mom's departure was a phone call from my aunt saying that my grandmother is rapidly declining and that my mom should come to spend time with her. This is very hard for my mom who is so close to her family, it is the reason why we are close as a family.
My family is a huge part of my life. We spend most Sundays together for dinner, and are in constant communication with one another. My mom and are very close as well. She is a funny, loving and caring woman, and I respect her so much for what she has done for my brother, sister and I. I can only hope to be as great as a mom as she is.
This is going to be a trying time, but I know that because our family is strong that we will get through this. I love you Mom.
