What I would really like to do in honor of my mom is buy her a memorial stone to put in the memorial garden at the Baptist Hospice house. The smallest stone is $1000. This would be a way to donate and memorialize her at the same time.
There people who want to do something to show sympathy or condolences. There are people who would like to do something in memory of my mom. And I promise you that the best thing that you could do is donate to this facility on her behalf. Any amount is appreciated.
My mom did not have an easy life at all. She struggled financially most of her adult life. She found herself in toxic and abusive relationships, which lead to a majority of her adult life as a single mother of four children. I believe that the last few years staying with us, and then the three months that she was in hospice were the most carefree days of her life.
She had people taking care of her. She did not have to worry about utility bills or keeping food in the fridge or anything like that. She had people taking that burden from her. She was always feisty and had quite the fighting spirit.
She had been fighting her whole life and is finally at peace. And I feel like that peace started a little before she left this earth. The staff at the Hospice house genuinely cared for her and pampered her in so many ways. I don’t think she had ever been treated so well in her life.
