Bad News

So Thursday morning I got a pretty terrible phone call from my Dad informing me that my Mom had passed away.  Not really a call I was expecting.  She died sometime Wednesday night/Thursday morning and my poor Dad found her when he went to go to work.  If you know me at all you know that my Mom and I didn't have the greatest relationship, but that doesn't mean I didn't love her.  I just hope that she's in a better place and is able to do all the things that she hasn't been able to do in a long time.  I'm mostly sad for my Dad.  My Mom had a lot of health problems and if those are all cured now than why should I be sad about that?  I just know that my Dad has spent the last few years waiting on her hand and foot and I'm worried that he's not going to know what to do with himself now.  He's going to have a lot of time on his hands and I don't want him to be lonely and sad.  
I'm not really sure if it has all hit me yet, that she's really gone.  I'm sure that there will be times when it will be really hard on me.  If I eventually get married or have kids I'm pretty sure those will be events that I'll wish she was there for, but I'm sure she will be, even if I don't know it.
Love you Mom.

Katie, just know that I love you and anything you need I will be there for. I'm so sorry that you are having to go through this. Im sure your mom is always going to be looking out for you. Its so unfortunate that you had to loose her at this point of your life not when you were a lot older and ready for her to go, but like you said I'm sure she is in a much better place now where she can be healthy, happy, and can look in on you and see how well your doing and making her proud. If you need anything at all just know Im right down the hall. We'll have to start inviting Grant over for some of our shows. :) Love you boo.

Man, I saw your title and wasn't sure what to expect. I certainly didn't expect to read your mom had passed. I'm so very sorry. I truly hope you are able to find hope and peace soon. After losing our mom, we too find that it comes and goes. We have moments where we feel her around, and other moments where life just seems to be going on no different than before. I am so sad for you that you have to go through this experience of losing your mom so early. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family.
