I want my mommy :-(

[EricaH]

Michele, I'm so sorry. That's so much to deal with all at once.

My mother and I have been estranged for 4 years. I had a very dear aunt who was like a "mommy" to me, but she passed away 7/28 from lung cancer. I miss her so much and try to focus on how blessed I was to have her in my life for almost 38 years.

Hey Michele, I am so happy we were able to make you feel a bit better!

Your mom sounds like she was super-cool! She may have been tough in ways but she sounds like she was lots of fun otherwise! :7

Hi Michele,

I agree that people here are so kind and supportive .

I am so sorry for your tough time lately. It sounds like your mom was a great lady. Your description of her reminds me of my grandmother a bit. My grandmother passed while I was on my honeymoon. I feel so blessed that she made it to my wedding. She had lost her speech but was still as lively as ever! I know that in many ways she is still watching over me ...

Take care! Many hugs and prayers coming your way ...

My mom is my best friend. I don't know what I'll do without her someday sniff sniff. She lost her mom when she was only 30---I've had 9 extra years and am very, VERY thankful for that!

Awwww, Michele. So sorry to hear what you've been through.

I can relate just a little. We just had the unveiling for my father last week. It's been a year since we lost him to pancreatic cancer. Yesterday I was introduced to a new restaurant that was right between my office and where my Dad's office was. He would have loved this place. I thought about him the whole time at lunch because I kept thinking I wanted to take him there. Then it would dawn on me that it was too late. I should have gone to lunch with my father a lot more when he was alive. He always wanted to, and I turned him down far too often.

But boy, would he have loved this restaurant. And the Dylan special that was on PBS a few weeks ago. When he died, he was still young at heart, full of passion, and in many ways in the prime of life. It's a shame that he is missing so much.

I know others here have lost parents and others who were too young. It's great to be able to talk about our sorrows here. The more you talk about how you feel, Michele, the better off you'll be. So please keep posting!

Yes, I know I do! My mother passed away 5 years ago with als or Lou Gerigs disease. I have been doing a lot of gardening and it brings to mind my mother who had the most awesome flowers and vegetable gardens through out my lifetime. She would love my grandchildren as would my MIL. Who we lost as well. I would love to share everything with them. My mother would have cuddled me through crappy weeks, which is why I do the same with my children. Wish she was here. I guess I feel kind of sad as I usually have dh to do the cuddling and as a huge support. He is out of country for months.

Nancy and Diane Sue, I can relate to both of your comments.

My mom loved Christmas. I always went crazy buying gifts for her. I shopped for her year 'round, picking up little things here and there that I thought she would like and putting them aside until Christmas. To this day when I see things she would like I'll think to myself, Oh, mom would love this, and I'll almost buy it, forgetting momentarily that she's gone.

Diane Sue, you must get so lonely without your husband--and worried for his safety too. I so admire him for what he's doing. I keep him and everyone over there in my prayers. Hugs to you through cyber space, and I hope your DH comes home soon.

Michele -

I wanted to first say that you are in my thoughts and prayers with all that you are going through. You certainly have had a rough time!

My mom is in late stage Alzheimer's at the age of 67 and it's been eight years since she was first diagnosed, so there have been many times that I have felt the exact same way as you: "I want my mommy!" I have just found out that I'm pregnant with #3 and that's when it really hits me hard how much I have missed having my mom around. Sometimes life really stinks!

Hang in there!
Michele

Hi Michele with one L--

Alzheimer's is such a beast! I'm so sorry for your family. I can't imagine the hardship this has caused. I'll keep you in my thoughts in prayers as well. I guess we'll all just have to hang in there together!

Michele!

I'm so sorry about all that's happened in the last few days. I hope you and all of the families involved find peace about it all.

Thank you Sara. I'm feeling better. I'm over the initial shock anyway. I found out that there isn't going to be any kind of a memorial service for my friend that committed suicide and I'm a little perplexed about that. It seems a shame because he had alot of friends that are going to miss him.

Plans haven't been made as of yet for my friends killed in the accident.

I saw where you're having a tough time of it as well. I'll keep you in my prayers (I've got quite a big prayer list going for people on this forum!) and I hope you'll feel free to vent! As you can see, people really do like to extend a warm heart and a kind word.

Michele
