  • 6 Years Ago today

    I held my mom's hand till it turned cold. Cancer is a bitch. My sister goes to the cemetery every year both today and on Mother's Day, I don't do that, to me, that's not where she is.

    I'm going to mow the lawn and putter with my plants, plants I learned to grow from my mom.

  • Wow.. dammit.

    Love you. *hug*

  • Yeah, I think your mom is in those plants, too. You were there for her right until the end...

  • This made me think of my mom. I'm sorry for your loss.. even six years later. I'm approaching 2, and often I still can't breath. You seem to have found a good place. I envy you.

  • Love you honey.

  • Flib stole my line.

    And you're right, cancer is a bitch. I'll always be grateful to you mom for raising such a kick-ass, amazing-friend of a daughter.

  • :o ( so sorry! My boyfriend died 7 years ago in August. It's still hard every single day... good luck! I hope you had a beautiful day!

  • you..

    I was at a cottage in PEI this weekend, and there were so many hummingbirds and woodpeckers and other fun birds, and it was lovely yet all I could think was how much my mother would have loved it.   It gets easier with time, but not much, eh?

    I'm running the Relay again this coming Friday. I'm buying your mother another luminary. I'll keep her warm.

  • I went through a similar experience with my dad, watching him literally die. Definitely not a highlight in my life, but at the same time, in an odd way, kind of glad to be there when it happened.

    It's weird how when that person is absent, things like Father's Day no longer have any meaning. Well, not in that same way. Maybe its just easier to forget the day, I guess.

  • I'm sorry your mum died of cancer. I know, now, what you are going through. 

    We all have our different ways of remembering.
