A tribute to my mom.
As many of you know my mom was suppose to come live with us as of yesterday. Well, she got very ill on Wednesday night and had to be rushed to the hospital. Thursday the nurse called to let us know she would not be able to fly here, so the trip was cancelled. This morning she passed away peacefully. She will be greatly missed.
It seems so strange to know that she won't be coming here to live as planned. Hard not to pick up the phone and call to asked her how she is and tell her all about the changes at the new house. I have called her every single day for months. Always filling her in on our adventures and the changes at the house. She was so excited for us and was looking forward to living with us too.
I was very, very fortunate to have two wonderful parents (both now gone) who were loved by us and who loved us too.
Just wanted to share. It's been a tough few days. We are doing fine, so please don't worry.

Mary,
Please know how sorry I am to hear of your loss. I hope that the following days will not be too difficult for you.
I have a daughter (she's only 3) and I now appreciate the special relationship I have with my mother. My mom lives 250 miles away and I wish we were closer - geographically. There are times when she is simply too much and pushes her opinions on me, but...she is still my mom and I admire her strength and the sacrifices she has made for my siblings and I.
As time goes on, I'm sure you will be comforted by your memories in knowing that she was happy for you and is now in a place free of pain and suffering.
With sympathy -

Mary,
I am so sorry for your loss, I personally know what your going through because I lost my mom a year and half ago. I know the feeling of wanting to pick up the phone and call her, we did that 5-6 times a day and she lived 5 min from me. It was sudden and unexpected. I hope somehow you find comfort. My thoughts are with you,
Jill
Oh Mary, I am so sorry your mom passed away so unexpectedly just as you were going to welcome her to live with you and your family. Thankfully, she passed away peacefully. I know how the shock of losing your parent is so painful, even delibitating.
As you know, my mom died a little over a month ago. I know what you mean about how strange it feels not to have her around. The last month has been difficult for me, first with the shock of her dying, and now with the reality that I will never see or talk with her ever again, at least not in this life.
Mary, thank you for sharing. As you work through your grief keep your family close, share memories of your childhood with them. A circle of love is reinforced by the strength of each member supporting one another. I'm sure your mother was very proud of you and you are a tribute to her and your father.
Warmly,
Paula
Hello Mary,
I just got back online today and I am so very sorry about your mom. As soon as I read it, the heartbreak came flooding back. I lost my mom one year and seven months ago. It is the hardest thing I had to go through. Please know that there are those *****ally understand how you are feeling because we have been there.
Obviously, your mom did a great job, she raised you right. If I could take away your pain, I would. But try to find comfort and know that she is with God now and there is no better place to be.
May the good Lord look after you and your family in this time of need. You have friends here, lean on us.

Hi Mary...I just wanted to let you know that my prayers are with you and your family. I know that losing your mom can really send you through a hoop, since I too lost both my parents (whom we loved also). I know that the Lord will continue to strengthen you and yours. Take comfort in knowing that she is resting in Jesus arms now. Stay encouraged and take care.
