What an endearing and sweet sentiment Rik. The loss of my mom several years ago was the hardest thing I have ever gone through. I think about her almost daily. Nice post and enjoy the rest of your weekend....

Lovely post....my mom is still with me (92) and I try my best to appreciate every moment I have with her. I hope the same for those who have their parents still with them and for those who don't, I hope the memory of them brings a smile and happiness by remembering the good times. A very happy birthday to your mom!!!

Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever. I lost my Mom in 2000, I still grieve.

I almost lost my Mom to brain swelling about 10 years ago and then she's had cancer twice since then- so I've certainly feared and continue fearing about her death. My deepest condolences on your loss, Rick. I don't know if it's any solace, but we say in my religion, 'May their memory always be as Blessing'. I'm sure that's what she was and remains for you.

my mother is still with me (she is only 69 so she is young still) but I feel that way about my grandmother, since she was like a 2nd mother to me.

 

I remember reading an article about Anderson Cooper interviewing his mother - Gloria Vanderbilt - about the suicide of his brother. I think what Gloria Vanderbilt said about death and loss was very true -

"There is this word 'closure' that they talk spoke so much about today, but there's never closure on something that happens like that," said Vanderbilt. "You never get over it, but you learn to live with it," she said."

 

Even though she was referring to witnessing her son's suicide, I do not think with any death there is total closure.
