Mom

My mother died in 2001. For some reason I never received a death certificate. I asked my brother for one and I got it today. I didn't know that reading it would make me cry. It's hard to believe she is gone, because she lived so far away. I didn't see her very often, but just knowing she is there and that I could visit her was a comfort. I can't talk to her any more, I can't hear her laugh any more, I can't ask her questions, any more. I wish people didn't get old, and I wish people didn't die. I know I'm going to heaven when I die, because I trusted Jesus. I hope I see my mother and dad there. She passed away in Aug. of 2001. It was right before the 9/11 attack. I was very stressed out after the attack, like a lot of people. I knew a lot of people lost someone but I wanted to shout "I lost someone, too".
