Annette Louvain Thompson, my mother, passed away today (Easter Sunday) at around 12:30 - 12:40pm. She was 53 years old.
She had two bouts of breast cancer, the second of which eventually got her. For someone who has had to put up with a firstborn son that has had (and still have) disabilities and diseases throughout most of his life so far, my mother was very patient, practical, and helpful. I would never have coped with all the nasty surprises if she wasn't there for me. In spite of the threats of arguments, divorce, and other such things, my mother coped with every difficulty and sorted everything out.
My mother was there for me to read me stories, watch videos with me, play with me, and watch me grow up from baby to adult. And even between the bouts of breast cancer, we were playing 'Super Smash Brothers' and 'PokePark' on the Nintendo Wii together, and she always looked forward to the 'Pic of the Day' postings on Miiverse for the upcoming Smash Bros. game right up to her death. I could never be more proud of a mother who managed to share and enjoy my video games.
My mother also managed to tend to the garden outside my house, and had the biggest green thumb of us all. Mum loved flowers (and candles) and always put them around the house. I don't know yet if Dad will take over, or if we'll let the garden grow over.
Last night, getting the sixth sense that it will happen, I said goodbye to Mum and promised that I will love her 'always and forever', which was what she always put in my birthday and Christmas cards from her. Now with Dad looking after me, and with the understanding that he might not marry again so he can look after me properly, and considering he might die in the next few years or so, I haven't got much time left to become more independent and follow my life dream: to realize my Nazzilla character into a cartoon show for Cartoon Network, albeit as a 'Doctor Who / Marvel's Exiles' type of show. That will be my goal from now on. My new beginning.
I've promised Mum on her deathbed that I will dedicate the first episode in her memory, and I hope she will be smiling down from the heavens when my dream comes true. It's going to take a lot of work and wishful thinking, but I know I can do it.
As such, for about a week of mourning, I might not be on much here. Dad has told me to stay strong during this time, and that's what I'll do. Maybe I'll come on here as usual and mourn in-between Internet sessions.
Commiserations and such are gratefully welcome. Normal service will resume when it will resume.
Goodbye, Mum. And thanks for everything.
