I miss my Mom

[wendilee]

Born- 2-16-41

Died- 10-12-03 from complications from lung cancer

I wish she were here.  Sometimes you just need your mommy, right?  I miss her terribly, especially today.  That day 6 years ago was a horrible one.  She had been slowly declining for a few months, the cancer went from her lungs, to her lymph nodes, then to her brain.

She was my mom one day, then the next, a delirious shell of what she was.  She was on morphine for the pain and out of it for 4-5 days til she finally let go.  That night was the first (and last time) all 5 of us kids were in the same room together since I was a baby.

I dont like remembering  her like that, frail, delirious, .......so here she was in her younger days........

(ha ha)

I am so very sorry for your loss.Your mom was stunning.I lost my own mother 6-16-02;she died instantly of cardiac arrest while making a huge pot of spaghetti sauce for Sunday supper.I miss her terribly;I never got to say good-bye.When she passed one of my friends who'd lost her mother years before told me that after your mother dies you never feel understood again by those whose mothers are still living.That has proven to be true.I'm sending you a hug and want you to know that I get it.You're not alone.

Oh snap, so that's where you get your hotness from :) Sending you hugs girl, I cannot imagine but I will take this time to think about things. My mom is still alive, we don't see eye to eye and she's been smoking for over 20 years. Thanks so much for sharing. Be blessed!

Wendi,

This story brought up some painful memories of my own. So sorry for your loss. Your mom was beautiful. I lost my dad to colon cancer just before Chelsea was born. Like you my whole family was by his side. It was so hard to watch him pass but I feel so lucky that I was able to say goodbye. **Hugs**
