Wednesday, September 2nd, 1981.
The day My Mother died of a sudden cardiac arrest after riding her bicycle to Mount Brydges with her friend and youngest daughter, Lorrie. I was 9 months pregnant with my first child and at a regular pre-natal check-up when my Doctor told me the news. Denial was swift. I had been speaking with her earlier that day. The Doctor must be wrong. It must be my mother-in-law instead. She had been struggling with Diabetes complications for years. But no. He had it right. Harold picked me up and took me to Dad’s house. The worst had happened. My Mother had died.
45 years later and the pain is still in my heart.
