A Mother's Obit

A friend of mine sent me this obit to read that is both shocking and very sad.

After reading it, I wondered how my own children would think of me after I die?

I often ask myself if I'm a good mother, person and example of a good human being for my children to model after and look up to?

I often wonder if I'll be close to my children when they're adults?

Only time will answer all these questions, I just hope I'm still alive to learn what the answers are.

Till than I'll try to be a good mother, person and friend. And pray that I get a kinder, more loving obit than this mother got from her children. She must have been evil. Judge for yourself

Dolores Aguilar, born in 1929 in New Mexico, left us on
August 7, 2008. She will be met in the afterlife by her husband,
Raymond, her son, Paul Jr., and daughter, Ruby.
She is survived by her daughters Marietta, Mitzi, Stella,
Beatrice, Virginia and Ramona, and son Billy; grandchildren, Donnelle,
Joe, Mitzie, Maria, Mario, Marty, Tynette, Tania, Leta, Alexandria,
Tommy, Billy, Mathew, Raymond, Kenny, Javier, Lisa, Ashlie
and Michael; great-grand children, Brendan, Joseph, Karissa,Jacob,
Delaney, Shawn, Cienna, Bailey, Christian, Andre Jr., Andrea, Keith,
Saeed, Nujaymah, Salma, Merissa, Emily, Jayci, Isabella, Samantha and
Emily. I apologize if I missed anyone.
Dolores had no hobbies, made no contribution to
society and rarely shared a kind word or deed in her life. I speak for
the majority of her family when I say her presence will not be
missed by many, very few tears will be shed and there will be no lamenting over
her passing.
Her family will remember Dolores and amongst
ourselves we will remember her in our own way, which were mostly sad and
troubling times throughout the years. We may have some fond memories of her
and perhaps we will think of those times too. But I truly believe at the
end of the day ALL of us will really only miss what we never had, a
good and kind mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
I hope she is finally at peace with herself.
As for the rest of us left behind, I hope this is the beginning of a time of healing and
learning to be a family again.
There will be no service, no prayers and no closure
for the family she spent a lifetime tearing apart. We cannot come
together in the end to see to it that her grandchildren and
great-grandchildren can say their goodbyes. So I say here for all of us,
GOOD BYE, MOM.
