Well who ever says time heals and the memories, will comfort you. My mother passed away, in July 14, 1992. It was a sad day. And when I walked that grief I ended up jumping into a marriage to seek comfort which ended 6 months later.  So as you can see I am missing my mom. She was the best and had the biggest heart. I never met anyone who reach out to so many people. I  love how she loved people. Yesterday, my sister in law  and I went to the mall. And we were window shopping.  And I saw this hallmark ornament. And it screamed out to me "Mom would love that"  That is so mom. Oh boy did it put a knot in my stomach. And I told my sister in law and she ignored me and I told her again, and she agreed. She just didn't want to deal with it. I opened my mouth maybe I shouldn't we always miss mom at Christmas. So like I said before years may past but the pain still lingers on.

Dear Eileen, My heart aches for you, I know that the pain of the grief will never leave me just as it hasn\'t left you , but I do realize because of talking to you that it won\'t take over my life because she wouldn\'t want it to and I know your mom wouldn\'t want it to either. Sometimes it comes in like a flood . I will embrace it and then open my heart and let it go, I pray for you my friend you are a special child of God and I know He will take care of you. May God hold you in the palm of His hand until we meet here again. Nancy
