mom passed today after a year battle with cancer

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss and hope that you'll be granted strength at this time.

The night my mom passed, I drove to my parents house immediately after I got the call.
On the way there I heard the Eagles' song "Hole in the World" for the first time and every time I've heard it since, it brings tears to my eyes. The loss of a loved and loving parent leaves a very personal hole in the world. It's been 7 years and not a day passes without me thinking of her, I'm sure it will be the same for you. The memories of family and friends, is the only tangible immortality.
