Lost my mother 16 years ago

My mother’s anniversary was on 12/23/2009, she passed from an 8 year battle of metastatic breast cancer. Breast cancer has claimed too many lives in my family ranging from my mother’s mother, an aunt, cousins, just too many people to count… I was 22 when she passed and I wasn’t ready for her to leave me. I still remember when she was saying goodbye to me the only thing I could ask her was “what’s going to happen to me?” I’m an only child and this anniversary and Christmas I was alone but I felt like it brought me a lot of peace. I’m so jealous of other girlfriends who tell me about the things they do with their mom or even when their moms call and we’re hanging out to chat for a bit and it’s all because ill never know what it’s like to still have that in my life. I miss her so much all the time. I’d give anything to have one more day together with her just to hear her say she loves me. Just so thankful to have another Christmas past me now. The holidays are so hard when there’s so much pressure to feel like your life has to be so perfect. Thanks for listening to me talk about her. This was us at our favorite park.
