My Story

Well, My mother, She was the glue that kept our family together, She was a very strong women, but years of pain and suffering had worn her out, she wasn't at all the mother that we all knew and loved in the last months of her life.
As our mother raised 5 children she taught us a great deal about living, Ma was always full of life and enjoyed every minute she could, in our younger years we always went camping or to the bungalow in the summers and skating and sliding in the winter. Ma always liked being on the move and when she drove, she always had a full car or van whatever it was at the time.
I have special memories of staying up late with ma, when da was on backshift, we would do all the housework while the other kids were in bed, she would always like to do it then especially in the summer when it cooled off, I remember out at the clothes line with her hanging clothes, in the night too.
There are so many more memories like the time we went on the shopping trip to the states with the ladies dart league, we had a really good time, bought lots, met new people, took pictures, something we both loved to do, and ma even got up at kareoke and sang a couple of songs, she had a ball that weekend.
Ma was always there when I needed her, like the traveling to halifax when I had to go, she never hesitated for a minute when I asked her to come with me,
I will never forget the night before I was going in to deliver Jessica, I was so nervous I kept her on the phone all night, she didn't mind at all, she new that I needed to talk, I had never been on the drip before and didn't know what to expect, she kept reasuring me that everything was gonna be alright, and just when I felt good enough to hang up, the hospital called me at 6:30 in the morning and told me that doctor obrian couldn't induce me until the next day, I called ma back and all she could do was laugh.
She always made sure that she was with us all having our babies. She was there for everyone of their deliveries, she was a great lady, a great mother and a wonderful nanny, a devoted wife, who always put her family first.
after she had her stroke at the age of 49 she was determined to take jessica for a walk in the stroller and with hard work and determination she did it, it wasn't a long walk but she did it.
