Prayer's for these two awesome people to get through this struggle of losing their mom this morning tragically and in a very tragic way.
What's written below is from Bo, witten for anybody who takes their loved ones for granted. The second is from Jake, Bo's brother who also is feeling guilty and drowning in regret. Please Pray for them to be able to get through such a horrific time.
"Instead of writing a brief sentimental quote, I feel like I should share the feelings that come with the loss of my mother. I want all of you to understand that loosing someone is sometimes accompanied with regret. My mom was really good to me. That's an understatement. She was awesome. She always wanted to spend time with me, and instead, I spent time with other things. I was a typical selfish teenager that eventually became a selfish 22 year old. For 22 years, she was there for me whenever I needed her, she did anything and everything for me, and I can't say I was there for her when she needed me. Usually kids grow up, and are then able to develop an adult relationship with their parents. Well I still have some growing up to do. I wasn't mature enough to give her the amount of love she gave me in return. And I still owe her that adult relationship which involves respect, love and kindness that I wasn't able to give her before. It isn't any easier waking up and realizing she's gone. I can't go back and redo anything. Sometimes it doesn't seem real. She was just here, smiling and laughing. Many of us take their family for granted, and while I have the opportunity, I would like to help people change. Be an unselfish person. I know it's a lot to ask for, but believe it or not, it will make you happy, and it will prevent you from having regrets. Spend time with your family. Not just a few days out of the year. Even if they get on your nerves. It's what family does. Keep yourself from the possibility of having the same regret I live with." - Your oldest son, Bo.
"You never really know how much you need someone until they are gone forever, and then when they're gone, you relive and cherish all the memories you had with them, wishing you could take all the bad times away because just them being in your life was the greatest gift you have ever gotten. You raised both your sons all by yourself, you went through hell to make sure we were always okay, worked your a*s off to make sure we had everything we needed, you were a strong woman, and now you are gone, forever. And I still need you here mom. I'll always need you no matter what. I never got to tell you how much I do need you or how much I do appreciate everything you've done for me. Before you were gone, we were in a fight, and I didn't get a chance to tell you that I love you.. And that kills me just as much as knowing that you're gone from this earth forever.. I wish I would have treated you better. I love you so much mom and I'm sorry about our fight we were in. Rest In Peace Mommy." - Your youngest son, Jake.
