I understand how much you can miss someone who don't or can't have in your life. It hurts. I've been told to focus on what I have rather than what I don't. And that helps. But I've also been told that grieving and missing is normal too. belated ((hug))Alex@LateEnoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14863414847952789404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448400579749380283.post-89580768150257130002010-08-22T02:08:40.741-05:002010-08-22T02:08:40.741-05:00Awwww . . . you.

The pain of someone even saying the phrase, "Oh, I need to call my Mom later" punches a hole so deep and big through my heart that it requires me to take a long, deep breath to keep from crying on the spot. But I know what happened to my Mom, and although her passing was certaining the hardest thing I've had to deal with to date, it was at least a closure to some extent. I'm sorry that you have never had that. But you are stronger for it - look at all you have accomplished in your life, DESPITE what happened in your past. You took your not-so-happy-childhood and OVERCAME the obsticles that would have kept most people down.<br /><br />So, head up, my dear friend. The loss and mistakes are hers alone to bear. And together you and I will face the world, missing our Moms but knowing that we CAN go on. And always know in your heart that my mother stands behind you as much as she stands behind me, guiding us through life's turbulant times and rejoicing in our successes......Stephanie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13313882547217317083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448400579749380283.post-30360982957823157102010-08-15T15:18:55.995-05:002010-08-15T15:18:55.995-05:00I understand.I understand.Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341933256374692576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448400579749380283.post-37245386207600800782010-08-15T14:06:40.382-05:002010-08-15T14:06:40.382-05:00I'm so sorry.

We grew up together, and I have watched her cycle through it all to this place where she is now, essentially mourning her father while he still lives. It's a wound that never stops bleeding.<br /><br />These stories are so important because they keep me sober. They're all flash-forwards to who I would have been, and I'm grateful for the gift.<br /><br />Thank you.maggie, dammithttp://okayfinedammit.comnoreply@blogger.com
