Susie Abromeit Instagram – I miss you so damn much mom. 💔 For those of you who don’t know, my mom, best friend and soulmate @ly.nne867 passed away suddenly on November 20th a few days before Thanksgiving. It was so raw and came as such a shock to our family that I needed to sit and process it before I shared it here. It’s weird to no longer have any parents as they both have now passed on.
Instead of planning her usual epic thanksgiving feast, with the best damn homemade stuffing you’ve ever tasted in your life, our family was planning a funeral, and delivering Eulogies.
She was a force of nature, a YOUNG 75 year old, who was running her usual few miles the days before, and being the life of the party. She was an amazing force of nature, stunningly beautiful, and damn, could she cook-like a Michelin chef. Nothing else ever seems to compare with it. Me and my father loved her cooking so much we would actually lick the plates clean.
She had the most perfect nose, (and no she never got a nose job). She was neurotic, which made her basically an amazing google doctor. And she had a heart of gold. She was so generous, fragile, and yet still so endless tough with so much resilience which is why this comes as such a shock because we all thought she was going to live until she’s one hundred and fifty.
She was so energetic, enthusiastic, positive, and had this big personality yet wanted to leave a small footprint and never wanted to take up too much space. She never wanted to ask for too much. Ever. And she always wanted to please the people she loved around her. She just wanted the people she loved to be happy.
Her message was also so clear to me when she left. We get another day to be here. Another lesson we get to learn. What a gift. She used to say all the time, “Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, but Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.” So I continue to honor her memory and I am doing just that. She lived a full life. And lived her life well. And she would want us to do the same. To not hold onto the past of what life will be without her, but to take her love, lessons, and wisdom into the future. To take her love with us. And I’m doing just that. ❤️ | Posted on 19/Dec/2023 02:56:22
