Mom

I experienced something last week that i didn't think i would experience for a very long time. my mom passed away at Lafayette General last Tuesday night at 6:30. She started feeling bad the tuesday prior to that but we were going to wait for her MRI which was scheduled for last monday to see what was going on but my dad had to bring her to the emergency room last Sunday. I met him there as soon as he told me he was bringing her b/c if my parents were going to the hospital i knew something had to be wrong. They put her on an IV and ran some tests. that was the longest five hours that we spent in the emergency room. my mom was so restless and wanted to get up. The next morning the doctor gave us news that was hard to put it mildly. The cancer that started off in my mom's breast spread back to her liver and it was too late. she was already having liver failure. By monday morning my mom slipped into a coma and wouldn't wake up again. By tuesday night her liver and kidneys failed and she passed on. it has been a very hard week since then as i've tried to grasp all of this. It still seems so surreal. As hard as all of this has been, it has been easier than i ever imagined it to be. As i watched my mom take her last breath i felt an immense rush of peace which was beautiful. At that point i remember thinking my mom was imminent about beating her cancer and even in death she still has the victory. prayers are still greatly needed for my dad, my sister, and myself as we adjust to a world without my mom.
