Mama has gone to Heaven

This is a different post and yes it is about death.
My mother passed away yesterday from liver cancer that started in the colon.
I loved my mother with all my heart but the sad truth is she never took care of herself.
She loved my brothers and I what you could consider a little too much.
In her adult life after we were all grown she still would not make her well being a priority.
Now I know death is a part of life and I accept things worked out just as God intended.
But, I do feel somewhat cheated in my mom only living 70 yeas when we've had several other family member's including my Grandmother who lived to be 90.

Bottom line that I will keep driving and preaching for the rest of my life is to make your health a priority. Life is short and it does end but who wants to end up rotting in a nursing home from poor self care?
And if you need some inspiration I highly recommend visiting one.
It's heart breaking to see those people in there who have no hope.
And I'm not judging them by any means because I do not know what put them there.
I just know it's a place I want to avoid being put in at all costs.

Stay strong and say a prayer for my family.
