Not sure where to post this ... my mom just died. [View all]

I wasn't able to get there to be with her in the end. I'll have to live with that for the rest of my life...

When I was sick & suffering she was always there for me.

In the end, when she was sick & suffering, I wasn't there for her.

#Regret

That's about all I can say right now ...
