My best day is when I married my hubby! With out him, I would not have been able to get thru all my worst days.

But one of my worst days happened only when I was 14, so I didnt even know my hubby then. But I came home from school and my Mom was sleeping on the couch....She woke up and asked me if I could find a ride to my swim practice, Because she was not feeling well, and so I did. I Said good bye and see ya when I get home. About 3 hours later, O got home, and she was asleep on the couch, so I didn't want to bother her, and I let her sleep. That was about 8pm. My Dad got home from working afternoon turn, and he came running up to get me saying he thinks Mom is dead, and she did end up passing away in her sleep, she was only 44. It is going to be 15 years already, but it does still seem like it was only yesterday it all happened.

To this day, I still think to myself, if only I had tried to wake her, maybe her life could have been saved, but there is no going back in time.

Mandy, I am at a loss of what to say! What a tragic circumstance for a 14 year old to have to go through. I am so sorry for the loss of your mother, but you seem to me to be such a wonderful, caring person. I think your mother would be very proud.
