This still doesn't seem real, unfortunately I know it is. I miss Mom so much but I'm more at peace knowing that she isn't suffering anymore. We all know she loved us so very deeply. I know she wanted us to take care of each other, especially Dad. Rest easy Mom, we promise that we will do just that. Dad will always be taken care of. We love and miss you, love Lia
