Re: Azur
I believe she knew my mom just before coming into this life. I think my mom held her before I ever did. Kinda bittersweet.

Re: Teddy,
First of all, thank you for this. You rock!! So true this is. And secondly, she already knew about you as I told her before and read a few of your writings to her. But, I do plan on officially contacting her very soon. I'm finally ready. I'll tell her you said hi.

Nothing pathetic about it. I think you feel it most when your child will never know your parent.
Let it out.

Re: I-R,
I'm sorry your mom died so young. I'm sorry YOU were so young when you and your sibs lost her. I think our moms would've spoiled their grandchildren rotten. I am quite thankful for being able to know my mom as long as I did, too. In fact, I am so glad that I told her that. I told her (before she was terminal) that even if she wasn't my mom, I would like to know her. That seemed to flatter her. I am so glad I told her that. It was so true.

Ahhh, my dear, you sound so beautiful...
...with those loving, caring words about your mom. It has really touched my heart and I know she is listening and probably kissing you right now in the next world. Be blessed knowing that if your wish is to see her again, God will make it happen. But you need time to be a mother yourself right now so your daughter can feel your love and her grannie's love through you. Bless you.

Ahh, Young Miss,
It's been what, 22 years since my dad left us. A day doesn't go by I don't think of him. How he would have loved to (finally) see his youngest and dumbest kid find his way in this world. He knew my wife as a child, but would have loved her even more knowing her as an adult.
Nonetheless, what we have is what we have, and better great memories than thoughts of "good riddance you bastard."
Your mother is around -- you exude her in every word. She is with you; just like my Dad is with me.
Take care. I know it's tough, and damn few things are comforting at moments like these.

some part of us is gone
some huge piece of Love
that we know we cannot Live
without
but
we do
and we will
and
as much as it hurts
my Dear Friend
so will you...
Love:
the way it is
can kill
without killing
so let me ask you this
are all of the angels
in Heaven?
Tell her Hi for me.

Spitfire, There isn't a day goes by,without me thinking of my mother
She didn't make it past her 50th birthday. She passed on due to brain cancer in 1974. I was 22 at the time. My younger brother 15. We asked pretty much the same questions. Why? i tell my children about the grandmother they never met, show them the pictures and they say pretty much the same thing "I wish I could have met her. She would have spoiled me rotten." The kids are probably right in thinking that. Mom would have done that. It's never easy to lose a close confidante, nurse, teacher, sage, mentor, healer or scribe. Most moms perform all those tasks or more. I am extremely thankful for the time I knew my mom. Like you I wish my mother could have stuck around a lot longer. My thoughts are with you.

Re: Jems,
And I always think about you and your loss. The day your dad died profoundly affected me and I always think of it. I still regret not being able to get there in time to be with you, to hold you, to try as much as I could to make things feel a little bit more at ease.
I love you, too.

Thank you, Seedlings.
Again, I don't mean to sound crude, but I have asked you a few times before to please stop calling me Spit. My name is Spitfire. It's not just about me. See, My mom nicknamed me that (and it stuck) first when I was about 3 or 4 years old. So, it kinda goes along with and out of respect for her to ask you of this again. Thanks for reading

Oh my sweet Sister!
I know exactly how you feel! It's how I feel each and every day about Daddy! I wish I could tell you it gets better with time, but even to this very day my heart tears a little more every time I think of Daddy and how he'll never meet my children, how he'll never walk me down the aisle, how I'll never laugh with him again.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I love you dearly!

This post I am sure many can relate to, but you put it so honestly, straight from the heart and soul, that all I can do is thank you for your honesty. Few can express this loss as you have.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
