Mama's Birthday Today

It's been two years since she's gone. And three years ago today that I had an open-house b'day party for Mama (her 99th) although she was not aware of it - never knowing at that age which one could be her last. (while everyone was saying I was in denial, I knew time was ebbing). Good thing I did. I miss her more - the emotions different - but I still weep. I miss you SO much, My Mama.

I am sorry for your close. It's apparent that you were close to your mom. I too was the only one in my family to recognize that my mom's time was coming. When her COPD got worse and then she kept getting sick, everyone kept saying, she's get over this, but there was a point when I realized, she was not going to get better. My mom's birthday was last month. She would have been 65 yrs old. I hear you saying how much you miss your mom. It's so painful, but we have their memories to keep them alive for us. Wishing you peace.

You had a special relationship with your mother. She knew how much you loved her and what a good job you did taking care of her. That positive energy goes on.

I knew I would lose my mom within a few years but not so suddenly. I was her caretaker and burning out. My mom was also all I had and her birthday was a week after she died.

It's very hard to miss them so much. You are not alone. Take care of yourself.
