Big hug of comfort and support for you Nick......xo

thank you ....went to her grave today. told her I wish I could have told u how much I love you mom. now I have to carry on with my heart half broken until the day I join you. I hope to find you waving at me then.

Please do not think of your heart as half broken until the day you die. Please think of it as different.

My parents are both gone, and I find that I miss them a lot. It has been just over 1 1/2year since dad died, and a year longer since mom died. Most days I am OK, but there are days where I really miss them. On those days, it helps me to ask myself what mom or dad would have done/said. In that way, I am still talking to them.

I also try very hard to pass it forward, and honor my parents by being the son they raised.

PepperMan... I have lots of guilt as I didnt spend enough time with her. She wanted to spend time with my grandson too but I wish she had more time. Just now, I was cleaning my son's closet and found bags of clothes - all new - given to my son by his gramma. he never saw these clothes as they were burried in the back of the closet by his mom. Both he and I cried....i took out one shirt and he wears it now.

I bear the burden and the blessing to hold your hand before you left me and be there talking to you until you took your last breath.... mom I miss you soooooo much....

I love you mom.

((((( HUGGZZZZ )))))

driving home , the sky is dark and gloomy. the tears from the sky fall down to grief with me as I think of you . the windshield wipers wipe the earth's tears as I wipe mine. I called you out wishing you could reply to me. my birthday is coming soon..I ask for nothing only to be with you for one more day..maybe one day per year would suffice.

When we lose our parents, we lose apart of ourselves. My mom has been gone almost 3 yrs and it still hurts so bad at times. We had a very close relationship, she had me when she was 17 so we basically grew up together. I feel your pain but remember there will be light at the end of this tunnel called grief. When I am really down, I try to remember all the special times we had and the fact that I know she would not want me to be so sad all the time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mondays are hardest for me. it's when u and I talk on the phone...

mommy.... I cry for you again...tonight.. as the memory of last summer emerged from the depthNess of my soul. you remember we went to the store in Destin on the last day of our vacation. you looked so happy with your fragile smile being with me together ..that was a rare moment asfor years we don't spend vacations together. that was a great time ..who would have known it was the last time I would spend a vacation with you mom. I miss you and I feel so lost without you mom. though I am an adult and I a. actually caring, supporting financially everyone around me, I feel nothing without you mom.

ma....

Nick,

I miss my parents as well. Their absence can be overwhelming. But we all need to find that new normal where we can live and love again.

Gentle hugs
