My Mom the Trooper

I lost my mom Gladys Dockery on 5 September 2010. She was only 56yrs old. I'm an only child who was there for my MOM So much in life and she was there for me in my life. Mom passed in the hospital after along battle with being on dialysis for 4yrs and heart failure. I will never forget my MOM. She loved me and I loved her. She was a retired State Employee here in NC as of 2007. She was known for her Country professional voice and the way she use to say my name “CORRREY”!

She is the second child to die out of 9 children. Her death was a town shocker when she died. We (me and her) had no Idea that she was gonna die in the hospital that weekend. This all seems so much like a nightmare to me still and its almost 2months later. The hardest thing was going thru her purse and packing up things in her house 2 weeks after this all happen.

She will be Missed so much this is painful to even write this statement. I just wanna encourage others now on how to deal with the lost of MOM. Folks tell me you will not forget, her but you will get over it as time goes by. You will never get over it, but will never forget. Just pray for me as I deal with this transition in my life.
