      Type: Loss of a Parent

      My mom died on July 11, 2009 of a massive heart attack related to end stage COPD. I grew up in foster care, and she was my biological mother. The last 2 years of her life, I got close to her. I miss her very much every day. I think about her every day.

      Sometimes, I laugh nervously in front of others and cry when I'm alone.
      Pets Working / Worked
