TFG1MIKE 365 – 2024 Day 139 – Missing My Mom! (2024 Edition)

Hello all it is I, TFG1Mike… You Are Now reading TFG1MIKE 365! The idea here is for me to write something, anything, once a day for 365 days. From January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. In my 139th entry of 2024, it’s May 18, 2024, and I’m just gonna keep this one very short! You saw the title above, well even though my Mom Kathy has been gone 9 years, this year it’s hitting a little harder than it had been in the past years. I have no idea why… 

This was back in 1982 I think…

I was just thinking about Mom, and these past nine years of my life. From 2015 to 2024, I think I’ve had more adventures in these nine years, than my entire life. OK probably not, but these nine years are filled with so much. Plenty of life events happened within the nine years that Mom has been gone. I know she would be and is so proud of me, and I know she is looking down on me all the time.

The photo above was either 2012 or 2013.

When she passed nine years ago today, it was a Monday back then… at the time we had her dog Snowwhite, and I had to leave the hospital to go home and let the dog out. So I spent about 2 and a half hours by Mom’s bedside, and there were a few moments there I thought that she was gonna wake up, even for just one last word, but she never did. I don’t even remember what her last word or words were to me… It’s been nine years, and as I’ve already said so much has happened. In these past nine years I’ve moved so many different places, had so many different experiences, things I know Mom would have loved to see, gotten married, and diforced <– (Karen’s term), I’ve been a homeowner, and not… Adventures out the wazoo when Karen was alive, and so much more. I know my Mom would have loved being here for all of it. However I also know that mom wasn’t doing well with her health, and for her to be at peace she had to pass on. 

I still have many good memories of my Mom, and I do remember those more than any of the struggles we went through. I still can hear her voice in my head when I read The Holiday Diary! You can read that HERE! or listen to me reading it aloud HERE!

Like I said this will be short, so I’m gonna leave y’all with the ONE podcast Mom and I did together. What a blast that was. Please keep in mind that audio is twelve years old! Miss and Love You Mom Always!

Join me tomorrow May 19, 2024 as I’ll be writing about Flipping The Friendship Coin!
