Tonight's going to be rough. So is tomorrow morning.

Tonight's the viewing for my mom. The family is going to have a private, closed casket viewing first, then the public will have an open casket viewing. Tomorrow is her funeral.

I miss my mom a lot. I think about her everyday. It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that she's not here anymore. It's just unreal.

Me and one of my older brothers wanted a closed casket. We watched her die, and I mean that literally. We all watched the life leave my mom. I've seen her dead once, I don't need to see it again.

I don't really know how things can go back to normal. For the past year and a half, my life has consisted of doctors and hospitals and surgeries and radiation treatments and hospice and chemotherapy. I can't remember what normal is.

I wish my mom was here. I miss her so much.
