My name Is Courtney and i am the Daughter of Elizabeth Fleming, she was
diagnosed with CF when she was young and thrived to make every day worth it,
when she was 21 she had me and i had been late to find out that there was a lot
of talk about what would happen but i was young and i didn't understand. she
would go into the hospital every year around October and i was told that she was
only getting check ups but what i had found out years later was that she had to
go in to receive meds to help her feel better, me and my grandparents would stay
in a hotel until she was ready to go home, the Hospital she went to was Shands
at UF and it was the most amazing hospital and still is, they tried their
hardest and didn't stop without a fight. When she was around 27 she started
getting worse and worse and instead of going in the hospital every year she was
being admitted every month. I felt as if i didn't have a mother anymore and i
spent many nights crying and wishing that she would get better. the longest time
she was out of the hospital was 2 months and then she just completely went down
hill, i believe it was the beginning of July when she went in because she wasn't
feeling well and it was fine really, it was like a usual thing, we went in
through the ER and had X-RAYS done as well as cultures. me and my grandparents
left just as we usually did and i kept in touch with every morning, it was early
the next day and my grandparents told me we were going up to see her and
thinking that she was coming home i was happy but as i walked into the bathroom
my grandmother said "the hospital called, they said mommy is going soon" after
that i don't remember anything but just falling and crying i cried the whole 2
hours on the way up there as well as in the elevator and in front of the
doctors. when i walked in the room she saw me crying and when i sat next to her
she just touched my face and said "i love you" i had always prayed that god
wouldn't take her away from me this young and she told me that she was going to
be better and that she couldn't take the struggling anymore. Now if any of you
know hearing a loved one say they are ready to go is heart striking, my heart
was literally in pain and i was having problems concentrating and i was shaking.
the doctors said it was shock and i knew it was but i didn't say anything, she
was in the hospital for 2 more days and did not get 1 hour of sleep, i was up
for 48 hours just watching her and making sure that she was comfortable, she
couldn't be on regular oxygen she had something that was 10 time more powerful.
she had told my grandparents that she wanted to die at home and they arranged it
for her to come home via Ambulance, me and my grandfather left a few hours ahead
of time to get everything set up but they had decided to wait for the next day
and i was extremely worried, i had to rely on a ex boyfriend for help and it
made me angry, it was frustrating because i was always strong and this just
ruined me. not more than 2 hours after she got home she passed away, it was so
hard because in my head i thought she would pull out of it like all the other
times but this time she just didn't, i regret ever having arguments with her but
i know she forgives me and i know she knows i love her to death and i would do
anything to get her back...
thank you for reading my story, i would write more but im getting to upset.

Your beautiful Mother
Dear Courtney,
God had blessed you with a beauiful mother who was taken from you too soon. She will always be with you sweetheart, because she loved you so much. She went through such terrible pain and must be so glad she is not in pain any longer.
The rows you had will be well forgotten hun, and that's what life is all about, you always have your ups and downs with children and parents, but that does not stop them loving you. You must always remember the good times you shared together, the love, laughs and happiness, you will keep close to your heart.
Your mother Elizabeth was so beautiful, she will be one of god's special Angels keeping an eye on you from above. She will watch over you and your grandparents Courtney, you will see.
God bless you and your grandparents Courtney.
Love
Kim

To Courtney,
You've had such a terrible time and it sounds like you weren't too well prepared for your mum's death. It must have been so comforting for her to know you were caring for her at the hospital and you should be proud of that.
We all have arguments with the people we love - especially mums and daughters - believe me! - but it never changes the love we share.
It's okay to be angry with her for leaving you, and to feel as if you're going to go insane with the grief.
She sounds like a wonderful person with a wonderful daughter. The closer we are to someone, the harder it hurts when they leave us. Please believe that she's with you, silently praising you, loving you - and sometimes nagging you! Mums are mums in the spirit world too!
Lots of love to you.
To the living, I am gone
To the sorrowful, I will never return
To the angry, I was cheated
But to the happy, I am at peace
And to the faithful, I have never left
I cannot speak, but I can listen
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard
So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea
As you look upon a flower and admire it's simplicity
Remember Me…
Remember me in your heart
Your thoughts, and your memories
Of the times we loved
The times we cried
The times we fought
The times we laughed
For if you always think of me
I will never have gone….
