On this day, One year ago, i got a phone call that would change my life. My mother had possibly had a stroke, and they were taking her to the hospital. Wanting to believe that this would be something she would recover from quickly,  i tried my best to stay calm, not only for me, but for my family as well. After a month long battle, my mom Daisy Swearingen, lost her battle with what turned out to be an aneurysm that burst. I wanted to share something, that a good friend of my mother and me, shared with me, while we were still in the hospital. I want to say thank you so much Jennifer Schmid, for having the forethought to record my moms beautiful voice. This recording  may be seen as negative, because its her speaking about a negative part of her life, but in all honesty, is was a huge positive in her life. This is my mom, with her family, which turned out to be some of the best people I have ever met, and am honored to say, i feel them as part of my family as well. This is a part of my mom i will cherish forever, and to me i believe help construct her, into the amazing woman she was. Thank you again, to every one who was their for my family and I. You all make this world a beautiful place. My mom is so proud of each and every one of you, for who you are. I love you guys
