I’ll be patient till we see each other again

She was 49 and a half…had been in a nursing home since her 41st year. Always saying she felt like she was in prison and waiting at the entrance of the nursing home for her kids to visit. The Doctor had told her parents that she was not going to be older than 6months old. Against all odds she grew up into a beautiful woman, movie star kinda beautiful, and lived life to the full with having given birth to 3 healthy children. At 49 she had succeeded to outlive her parents as her mother died in 1988 and her father on May 25 1990. She was proud having made it to 99x6months old. She passed on on July 4 1990. Her Independence Day! I miss you Mama, but I know you wanted to go. I’ll be patient till we will see eachother again on the other side… With love, your youngest daughter.
