My mother Cheryl D. Westmoreland passed away on April 1, 2008 of sudden cardiac arrest after years of abusing cigarettes and alcohol, she was 54 years young. A victim of the the addictions we are faced with today. Her painful journey is over and mine has just began.
Life without her is almost unbearable even 3 weeks later. My mother was an organ donor, I do have that to look forward to, possibly several other peoples lives could be changed drastically with the gifts she gave and I wait to hear good news.
Be happy your mother gave you life. Love your mother as if she could die tomorrow, tell her how beautiful she is, and give her a big kiss if you can, in honor of my mother...
