So today it has been 2 months since I lost my mother. It still hurts as bad as the first day. I thought I would share with you what my brother wrote about her. He wanted to read it at her funeral, but he knew he wouldn't be able to so he had the pastor read it. She was a wonderful wife, mother and friend who blessed many lives.
A Piece of My Life
Please bear with me I wasn#%92t ever good at English or writing a speech, Mr. Spirk tried to teach me but I was always too stubborn to learn. Jackie B. mother, wife, but more then all she was a good friend to me. She was there when I needed her the most, and I could use a friend like her right now. She was there whenever I needed her just seven digits away or fast enough by pressing one on my cell phone.
My mother was never a shy person she would always tell you what she thought, whether it would be good or bad. She would always tell you what she thought and what would be the best decision to make in her mind. I have so many things to be thankful for and the biggest one is her!! She taught me many things in life, and one of them she passed on was to be kind to those all around you. She taught me more then that but some of you aren#%92t old enough if you know what I mean!! The one thing that we all shared (Mom, Dad and me) we all liked to cook! Most of you out there have been able to enjoy the cooking of me, Dad, and Mom at the annual B. Birthday party that we have had in the past few years. It was always fun, she would sit back and have a couple of beers while me and Dad would cook all the food and let her have at least one day to herself where she wouldn#%92t have to do anything but just chill.
I really don#%92t know where I would be in life without her. She has pushed me through a lot of things through the years. I#%92ll think back to high school, I just found out that Dad got a new job in Lincoln and that we might have to move, I was devastated. Losing my classmates, that was a hard thing to grasp as a sophomore, I was only 16. But she made a huge sacrifice for me, and stayed here in Nelson so I could be with my class while Dad moved up to Lincoln. She sat me down and sad hey I#%92ll stay here so you can be with your friends as I know how much that means to you we#%92ll make it work somehow. I can say I don#%92t think Dad or Mom ever missed a game of mine. I know I didn#%92t tell them this ever, but that meant a lot to me and it will always stick in the back of my mind. So life went on, Dad finally got a home office and they were able to be back to Nelson together.
So I am in college now, studying, working, well mostly having fun like a normal college kid would, just ask my boss he#%92ll tell you stories. I decided to leave college for a while and all I heard from my mother was, this is the worst thing you can do, just get your studies done and over with you aren#%92t that far along from graduating. Like the stubborn kid I was I didn#%92t listen, which I would soon find out was a bad idea. Mom finally talked me into going back to college, which she should have said, “hey, you#%92re going to stay in school and you#%92ll like it.”
So this brings me to Tuesday November 28, 2006 me and a good buddy of mine, Kevin, was working on my girlfriends car trying to put in a remote starter in it. You know how it is when old friends haven#%92t seen each other for a long time. We threw back a couple of beers, ok maybe it wasn#%92t a couple but hey, who#%92s is counting? So it turned into a long night and I decided to skip one of my classes accounting, eight o#%92clock in the morning who would want to go to that? Way too early!!!
Its Wednesday November 29, 2006, it would be one of the hardest days of my life. At 9:25 a.m. I received a call from my father saying my mother passed way. What do you say when someone just told you that? I will tell you what I said, “there is no way, I will be down as soon as I can”. I can say that was the worst drive back to Nelson I have ever have.
We#%92ll it#%92s almost 4 o#%92clock in the morning and I should get some sleep but like everyone out there I can#%92t stop thinking WHY. Mom you will always be with me no matter what happens. I wish I could have the power to come up in front of all your friends, family, and all the people that cared about you but there is just no way. I would like to make a personal thanks to everyone out there that has helped our family out over the years and these trying times, you don#%92t know how much it means to us right now. I know you will be with me and Melinda and Dad everyday every hour, minute and second of our lives, no matter where we might be you will always be in our hearts. And Mom, I love you so freaking much I will see you one day no matter what happens!!! You can count one thing, the next beer I have will be in your HONROR!!! Dad, Melinda, if you ever need anything you know I am always a speed dial way. I love you two so much.
I will miss you so much as well as everyone around us.
LOVE,
D
