Today, my mother would have been 55. She passed away on my 17th birthday. She was very ill and she fought bravely right until the bitter end. That doesn’t mean that I was never angry at her for dying. I needed her at that age. Hell, I still do. I have several aunts and an awesome mother-in-law, but that’s not the same.
As I get closer to becoming the age she was when she died, I notice that I am a lot like her. I am afraid of what happens once I get past the age she was when she died. She was no angel by any means, but she’s irreplaceable. She brought me into this world.
I miss my mother a lot today. I miss her everyday.
I’m so sorry the loss is hitting so very close to home today. {{{Hugs}}}
I have a friend that has an amazing blog where people can share their stories of those that are “Always Loved, Never Forgotten” at http://www.alwaysloved.org/ Here is the introduction to the web page:
Do you have someone you really want to share with the world?
This site is for anyone that would like to share someone with the world, the lessons they taught us, and the ripple their loss left behind with the world. They may be gone from this world but they still mean so much! This site is for YOU!
Share your grief, joy, pain, and most of all the person that left you behind with the world! If you’d like to send me a word document with an article about someone you’d like to share on this website please contact me on my website.
