I made this video to play at my mom's funeral after she took her life in December 2007. A lot of memories in here and very tough to have the strength to make this in a few days after she died, but I wanted her to be remembered and the many good times she did have to be together. A tough life she had, her mental illness got the best of her. Some of the photos I look at and can see the effects of either prescribed drugs, or illegal drugs, or alcohol. I wish there was something I could have done to help her. I miss her, and wish she were here to talk to and to see my beautiful children and my goodness all our dogs! She would have loved them. The music prevented this from being played but the rules have changed and it looks like some can watch it now if you have the time. Mental illness is real and suicide is also real. Painful for the ones left to pick up the pieces but we do and we have to remember our loved one that chose this route and know they must have been hurting terribly. If you know someone hurting or suspect something please reach out to them. It could be a phone call or a letter or even a smile. I wish I could turn back time to know what I could have done. Maybe someday the answer to my questions but for now I pray and ask God to tell her how blessed I am with my husband and children, and maybe she can look down and peek at our family and she would have loved her grandchildren so much and of course the dogs. Amazing how things are passed down to family that did not even know her, her granddaughter has such a love and gift with dogs like she did. Well thank you for reading and I remember my Mom today with love. ♥
