Two Years Ago...

Most people will remember today, September 11 for what happened in 2001...

Two years ago for me, that day changed again...

Two years ago today you were in the ICU on a breathing machine...

Two years ago today is the day the decision was made to let you go...

Two years ago today we, your children, asked your husband and doctors for just one more day with you...

That your children, just finding out that today was the day that they were to make the decision to let you go, was jut too sudden...

We wanted to be able to sit with you a little longer before you left us...

I wanted to wake up the next day and know I was going to lose you...
It was too hard to watch you suffer, and I wanted to come to terms with your dying...

Nick wanted extra time for a miracle to happen...
To not lose you, to make sure everything possible was tried...

Teren wanted another night to spend with you by your side...
And another night she got, never once leaving your side...
Your first born, swore to not leave you alone through this, and she didn't...
Teren always said that if were her, you would never have left her side, not for a moment...

And we know that you are still with us...
Watch over us...
And love us unconditionally as only a mother could...

You are missed every day mom...
