My mom died almost 9 months ago and I have been doing pretty good except for lately I keep expecting her to call me. That is so wierd. I have dialed her phone number a few times hoping she would answer but knowing she wouldn't.

I went to her grave today and took off the flowers and put a cute little scarecrow in the ground so I can find her when I go there. Once I thought she moved on me........wierd huh?

Even though I am an adult and have a child of my own, I still want my mommy. She was 82 years old and it was her time to die and I know that so why can't I move past that? She was the only family left, except for my father, who lives 1000 miles away. They were divorced.

My heart aches from the memories of her, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. We went there every Christmas Eve and opened presents and went out Christmas Day for dinner.

Why do I expect her to call me? Why when the phone rings I say to myself, "oh I bet that's mom.?

" It's because you miss your mom so much. My mom died one year ago. Sometimes I find myself dialing her phone number. I want to hug her and tell her how much I love her and miss her. I dream about her a lot. She keeps telling me not to be sad, but how could I not be.

Holidays are specially hard. Last Christmas (that was first Christmas without my mom) I was expecting her to show up at the door, I was feeling so lost, sad and alone and was crying so much.

My heart aches from the memories too, but I'm trying to remember all the good times and to keep those memories alive. It makes me feel like she's still with me somehow.

Your mom is always with you and she doesn't want you to feel sad. I'm pretty sure she would want to see you smile. Trust me, I know it's hard, but we have to keep trying. Take care. "
