Emily, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. She was very lucky to have you fighting so hard for her and being there for her. You are WAY TO YOUNG to have to be dealing with this and to be without your mom. I'm so glad that she was able to make it home and know that she has a grandbaby on the way. Please take care of yourself and someday soon the good memories will help ease your pain. Hugs, Wanda
