Mother's Day Eve

Mother's Day is tomorrow. I made arrangements to have lunch in Attica, Indiana. That's halfway in between Terre Haute and Hammond. That way neither me nor my mom have to drive the whole drive. Now I'm starting to have second thoughts. A big part of me thinks I just want to hide in bed tomorrow. It won't feel right to have mother's day without Maggie. It will seem to be missing something. Something I can never get back.

Today at work at Sears, I saw in the little girls' section, slip on shoes covered in pink sparkles. I thought Maggie would love those. Then I saw a pink dress with poodles on it. She would have loved that too. I could picture her wearing the outfit together.

I ache, and when I ache and feel empty, I long to be able to eat to fill the emptiness.

Linda - again, I'm so sorry for your loss.  However, you still have Mikey.  Never lose sight of that. 

Your little girls would never want you to be sad.  Spend the day with your mother as you've planned.

Eating never fills the emptiness.  If it did, none of us would have been overweight.  It never filled it for any of us, even though we all kept trying.

Come here and talk to us anytime.  We love you sweetie.

Linda,

I also agree w/ Christie, go spend the day w/ your mom, and I'm a firm believer our loved one's are always there w/ us and if so you'll all be there together mind, body and spirit.  Your surrounded with so much love from all of us, let us carry some of that pain for you so you don't have too sweetie!!!!  Your always in my thoughts and in my prayers!!!!!

Spend the day with  your Mom, she can help you.  I cannot image what it is like to lose a child, but I do know what it feels like to not have your Mom here on earth to be able to spend Mother's Day with, do not put off spending time with your Mom.

Lucy and Maggie will be there with you, they are never to far away.  You carry them where ever you go.  Ask yourself what would they want me to do?   I do not think they would want you to hide away.  I can understand it is not easy, but I beleive they would want you to go.

I hope you do not think I am being harass.

Hugs

Peggy

Big hugs to you Linda.

I have been thinking of you this week as mothers day drew closer. I know tomorrow is going to be hard for you. When I found you had made plans I was so happy because the worst thing you could do is stay home. Getting out tomorrow is the best thing for you right now.

Linda I really hope you find the strength to go with your mom today.  I am sorry you have to hurt in this way.  My prayers are with you today.

Peace and Love be with you.

I new here so I didn't know the story, but I read about your two wonderful daughters in your profile. I have no idea and no right to tell you how to feel after losing two children. All I can tell you is what has always helped me...the reason it hurts so much now, is because you have so many wonderful memories. I doubt the pain will ever go away completely, but someday it will fade, and you will still have those memories.
