She also suffered with a bone marrow disorder which was turning into a leukemia. I found this blog today after I put in the search "I miss my mom". She was only 71. I am now 50 and I really do miss her. She gave me so much counsel and help all of my life. I too find myself in tears many times. I look forward to the day I can see not only her but our Lord. Thanks for your prayers. Brian My mother went home to be with the Lord on 2-26-06.

I just typed in that phrase and then clicked on your site. I'm 37 and still have my parents, but they are in their 70's and it starts to get scary. :( :) My older sister is married and has 4 children. I love them, but fear for them in this world. Sorrow and Joy I am learning the hard way!!!!!!!! :) I didn't appreciate my parents when I was younger, but now I love them so much. Even when we don't get along. My mom and I really didn't get along when I was younger. I never felt like she really accepted me or that I could talk with her. She just wanted the best for me and my sister, I know now, but she just came across overbearing. I can look back and see how hard it must be to be a Mom. Giving birth to these little creatures, not knowing what you're going to get and knowing you are responsible for nurturing them and guiding them and providing for them!! What a hard job parents have!!!!!!!!!!! I'm glad your Mom had Faith. I've learned a lot about God my whole life but especially the last 11 years, but still don't understand everything. In His presence is supposed to be a better place. But, it is hard to let go of all the loved ones and memories here. I've had many bad times, but God has truly blessed me with many good times and special memories, seems moreso after I came back to Him. But now, it just seems kinda hard to press on!!!!!! It's hard to know you are becoming the older generation and people younger than you are relying on you!!!!!!!!! :) My sister's kids are ages 4 to 14. I know God has a plan, and I guess we'll understand it better one day, "they" say!! :) Thanks for sharing your story and picture!!!!!!!! May God bless and comfort you as you continue to heal!!!!!!! God Bless!!!!!! (If you get a chance, say a prayer for me. I struggle a lot with depression and anxiety and fear on my journey in this life) Thanks!! And God Bless again!! I imagine in Heaven one day, we'll have a Big Family Reunion!!!!!!! :) I’m really sorry to hear about your mom. I just typed in that phrase and then clicked on your site.

My mom is still alive, to which I am very grateful. Your post made me appreciate her even more. May we all tell our moms how much they mean to us before we do not have the chance. Thank you for being a role model for many of us "younger" moms:) (I'm not that much younger!!). Take care sweet friend:) Karyn, Thanks for reminding us of our moms.

We should find a time to sit down with a cup of tea together (if not in person, perhaps in a virtual group chat) and remember (and laugh!). Thanks, Carl... for coming out of the woodwork and for that always wonderful quote. Ah, it is good to recall the simple memories!

I think of Mom when I see one of those pulley lines hooked up from someone's house to a tree! And peppermint patties ("Grammy Mints" in my house now). And marigolds. Definitely marigolds. AND scraping paint/wallpaper off the dining room with pancake flippers - Mom was very clever to utilize you "Big Ones"'s would-be-boyfriends (they wished!) by lining them up with scrapers in their hands at the peeling wall if they wanted to visit you! yes, the list could definitely go on. much love, from the littlest of the Little Ones. how about the squeak of the laundry line out Barbara’s bedroom window?

Camp of the Pines ... Nibbles ... "buttah" ... head scratches ... "Keep an eye on the Little Ones" ... a cereal box and an orange every year in the toe ... the list could go on forever, right? Many, many hugs (and tissues) to you.
