Our family lost a friend last weekend. She was one of the 'Mom’s'.
You know the type? One of the ones that unconditionally drove the boys to and from basketball and watched in the stands. One, whose car would arrive at the oddest times in my driveway to fetch her strapping young boy. She will be truly missed. She was only 51.
As a group, we've only experienced this once before; but this one hit so very close to home. My children loved her, not to mention that her son's truly their "Brotha from anotha Mutha."
It was a very small, private service. I was honoured to have been invited to attend with my son, and the third Musketeer with his Mother. I have to admit, that watching the three lads together (in a less than ideal situation) made me realize just how bonded they truly are. Completely and unconditionally inseparable.

As predicted, my daughter called me afterward to make sure he was OK.
"Do you think he knows I would have been there today if I could have?” she asked.
“Absolutely,” I said.
Then I did the only thing I knew before I left my lad to head home.
I hugged him tight as I could and told him without hesitation that '...we all love you very much.’
Sleep tight Sharon. All of your hard work and suffering's finally over.
