Strange to be in the mood to write one very happy, bragging post about my sons admission into a great school and also a very sad post.

Today has brought so many emotions to me. My 2 year old DS has been walking around the house and pointing at pictures of my mother, who died 8 years ago, and asking: "Who´s that?"

He is not the first child I´ve had since my mother passed away. My middle daughter (now 8) was only 3 months old when my mothers died, and 3 years later we had another little girl (now 5). So it´s not like I´m not somewhat used to my children not knowing her. But it still hurt so much. Maybe because it´s this time of year (she died in July) and maybe it´s just because we have been through a lot lately and my emotions regarding all of it are still very raw.

Yesterday my "baby" brother celebrated his 25th birthday and I so wish my mom could have been there with us. She didn´t even see me turn 25.

Oh, I just wish she was still here with us.
 
Thanks!
I wish they (my kids) knew her and would have gotten a chance to enjoy spending time with her. She was so excited to be a grandma and had so many plans for the future (she was only 50 when she died). My husbands family lives very far away and they only meet their paternal grandmother a few times a year. I am extremely lucky to have been very close to both sets of grandparents and to still have my maternal grandparents alive and well. I wish my kids could have had the same, I feel they have been robbed of so much.
 

:hug:I'm sure missing her is hard, and wanting her to be a part of your children's lives. I'm sure she is with them, watching over them~
 
I'm so so sorry.

My mom died at 55, I was 30. I met DH after she died, so she never got to see me in a healthy relationship with a good man.

She would have been the BEST grandma, and instead I'm (or rather, DS) left with not-so-great grandparents (MIL tries, but...).

I feel I know a measure of your pain, and I'm really sorry. :hug:

I´m so sorry for your loss!

my dad died 5 years ago and he never got to meet my hubby or his new grandson. i also have a not-so-great out of town mil and i'm just really sorry my son didn't get to enjoy his grandpa.

he was so great with the neighbor's kids that it does break my heart he never got to do that for mine.

 
I'm sorry that your son's admission is bitter sweet, but you should be so proud! I'm so sorry for your loss!:hug:
 
:grouphug: to you. I sort of think I might know a bit of how you feel. My grandparents had 7 grandchildren, ranging from 32 down to 18. My 18 year old brother, who is named after my deceased grandfather, graduated from high school yesterday. My grandfather was such a great, kind, smart man, and he would have been so proud of my brother, who won several awards and scholarships. My grandmother came for the ceremony, but it seemed like someone was missing...
 
Hugs, Freyja. I can relate--not exactly the same, but I know of what you speak.
