Early this morning, one of those things you dread as a child happened. Emmie's mother passed away.
Mom Number 2 as I affectionately called her was quite a lady. She truly was the most amazing second mom a person could ask for. Funny, witty, full of insight, and a true memory maker, she was one part tough cookie, one part powerhouse, and one part stiff cup of coffee. She had amazing one liners we will always remember such as "wear your seatbelts at all times; love ya!" She loved her Dunkin's coffee, her rocks in our back yard and Canada, the lighthouse, and when in Nova Scotia, her Timmy Hortons!
Since I have known her, she has battled COPD, while also going through a variety of lung ailments. She put up a brave and valiant fight for the last 18 years going toe to toe with those ailments.
Alas, last night, we said our final "Peace Out" - one of my favorite phrases to her which she had recently begun to reply "Peace In" to - far earlier than I ever imagined. She led an amazing life and touched the lives of so many people.
She will be missed but never forgotten.
Peace Out Mom 2...and see what you can do about the Red Sox next year!!! Love you
