(6,699 posts)Mom died four years ago now. She was blessed to live to be 100. The last couple years weren't so great, and I know she is at peace now and feels that youth and relief that old age denies us all.
My mom and I shared our birthday for 66 years, and I really miss her when that day rolls around each year; but she is deeply missed each and every day.
You are blessed with the warm memories of a loving and nurturing mother. Knowing she is with you in spirit, and ready to greet you when your time is finished in the world may hold some comfort. Make her proud of her boy.
Family is important, but friends are there for us too. I don't have many...not near enough. Memories are there to recall and give us comfort too. My sincerest sympathy. The sorrow will fade, but it will always be there in part. That's part of life....not the part we would chose, but it is life regardless.
Hang in there. Something in her name, or a small act in memory of her may help this harest of times.
