February 15, 2013 was one year since my mom died. But we wanted to do something on February 10, 2013, which is the day she had her heart attack and went into the hospital. I just really wanted to do something for us in honor and memory of her, but I wasn’t quite sure what. My dad and I thought about it and he helped me get some roses and make up some tags with her picture and dates on them, that we attached to the roses. We woke up early on a Sunday  morning and basically walked through her ‘final moments’ of the year before on that day. We drove to Elmhurst College like she would have done and then to the hospital etc.
Mom’s car loaded to go.
A sample of what my dad made.
1st stop: Mom’s tree and plaque – where mom would have passed on her way to work that morning.
2nd stop: Mom’s brick.
3rd stop: Goebel Hall – where the Advising Office is.
4th stop: Emergency Room entrance at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital.
5th Stop: Entrance at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital we used when we came and went while my mom was in ICU.
6th and final stop: Mom’s final resting place…..
We love and miss you mom very much!!!!!!!
