Some of you may be wondering why i have christmasy lights and items on this video. Others may know but they're just reading this :P. When i was little, every christmas my mom would gather up me and the family and we'd go to see all the christmas lights in the area. She'd even go out of town sometimes. And every year it was never a disapointment for the christmas spirit. We'd always be around mom and help her set up the ortaments and everything. One christmas though, did not have that spirit. That was around the time where my mother was really ill and things where not going so well. She still managed to put up some decorations and such. For a while though while she was sick, we where at our grandpas house and lived there for a while. When we came back though, to our eyes was something not pleasant. We saw the door and saw a sign that said, "No smoking in this area please" and so i thought, "YES! Someone finally agrees!" but it was much more extreem than that. We walked inside to see family and friends around and we wondered what was going on. Then i walked into the living room to see my mother with an oxygen tank next to her and tubes going into her nose. She could'nt walk on her own or anything. On that same day of not seeing our mom for a long time, someone claims that she should get back to a hospital and we didnt see her for a while again. Theres plenty more detail then that but I feel thats the farthest i should go. But every night, i'd always ask God, "God, this year, i dont want toys or any objects. all i want for christmas is my mom to be alive." I think God awnsered it though, because she had a few days more then expected. Though i was not the only one praying for her. Once she finally passed away, I was angry with God for several years. Please understand though, i was only 10. I did not know much. But then as time progressed, i realized that every christmas, she was the light that shined the brightest and that kept the family together. Through her bright self and personality, Christmas felt, well, like christmas! The reason why i put christmas lights and decorations is because every year, this is when mom truly showed her true self and was happy. She was the light that lit up our hearts. :) She will always be remembered and never forgotten, please enjoy this video. [[The last picture was of me and my mom]]
