On May 20, 2009, we said goodbye to the strongest woman I have or will ever know. My Mom-mom fought a ton of battles throughout her life, but the hardest by far was her life after her stroke. On Easter Sunday of 2008, just about 2 weeks after moving into an assisted living facility, Mom-mom suffered a stroke. Until that point, she had lived by herself in South Philly. The stroke forced her movement into Little Flower Manor in Upper Darby, where she lived for over a year. (Some of you may recall that Dan and I made a donation there in lieu of wedding gifts) On May 18, 2009, Mom-mom got tired of fighting. I can't blame her... I remember her making fun of "all the little old ladies with walkers and wheelchairs" in the assisted living facility, and for the last year, she was wheelchair bound herself, and could not even communicate with her family. Her family that meant so much to her. Here are some photos of her.
In loving memory...
I was wearing her earrings... I love this picture.
