Thank you for sharing this heart-wrenching post, @winstonwolfe. This is the eventuality that all of us must one day face: the mortality of our parents and of ourselves.
You have obviously been blessed with parents who loved and nurtured you, and inspired you to become the person that you are today. The gift of life that you have been given is nothing to be taken for granted. Your mother's legacy is the life that you lie today.
I wish that you all can enjoy each day together and understand the this is not the end. Life is a circle and what begins but end, but that the end is just another beginning.
Take solace in the love of your community, and know that you are in our hearts. Peace be with you, your mother, and your family.
thank you
