The article reflects on a person's strong bond with their mother, describing her as a source of comfort and joy throughout their life. Despite over two years battling Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, the author cherishes the memories they shared. The pain of losing her on August 2, 2024, brought immense grief, especially during holidays, as these moments now feel hollow without her presence. As Mother's Day approaches, the author grapples with deep sadness, facing the reality of celebrating a day devoted to mothers without their beloved mom.
Every kid, if they're lucky, thinks they have the best mom in the world, and I'm no different. She was a one-of-a-kind, truly remarkable human being - my port in a storm.
Holidays have proven to be particularly difficult, considering the central role she always played in those special moments. Thanksgiving, Christmas, her birthday, my own birthday - these have all been firsts that I've had to experience without her this year.
But on Aug. 2, 2024, after an over two-year battle with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, I was forced to say goodbye to the greatest woman I've ever known.
The pain and grief that's followed hasn't been easy. I miss her more than words can say, and now, even so many months later, it still feels impossible to believe that she's gone.
