I miss my Mommy...

[Boots]

Me too, me too. My mother has been gone over 5 years now. I am 50 and I still miss her. She would have been 78 on Dec. 22nd. She loved birthdays and she loved Christmas. My dad is going to be at my stepmothers (she still has her house in south Alabama and they live both places actually) until after Christmas so their house won't even be decorated this year. {{HUGS}} to all who are like us.

I understand Robin. I lost my mom 6 years ago and the holidays aren't the same without her. We put up a special tree in her honor full of Waterford ornaments (I would give her one every year). May you find yourself recalling many happy memories and may in that time you find that she is still with you every day but especially at this time of year!

I still miss my Mom....she passed away in 1997, but due to the Altzheimer's, was "gone" for several years before that. I am sad that my kids never really knew her. They only remember her in the nursing home. She had always told me all the wonderful things she was going to do with my kids (I have a "feeling" they would of been spoiled rotten!!! ), but when my first born was born in 1990, she couldn't grasp the idea that this child was MINE....I was always babysitting for some "poor thing" who's mother was too busy at work to care for him. Used to break my heart.

I think if I could ask for one thing, it would be for the kids to spend just one day with her.

It took me awhile to come back to this, I posted it when I was really down...

I sort of felt foolish until I read these replies! It's nice to know I'm not alone.

God bless all of you who miss your Moms, like my Mom once said it's something we all have to go through eventually. I remember hugging her when her Mom, my Grandmother died. She said it was right, it's right for a child to bury a Mom, not a Mom to bury a child. It was a year after I buried my son and even in her pain she wanted to acknowledge mine.

She was soooo awesome. An amazingly WISE woman. My only wish is that I am half the woman and mother she was.

I miss you, Mommy! But I'm alright, now.....

it is difficult losing a parent, no matter what age you are. {{{hugs}}} robin.

In an attempt to forget I found a box with sympathy cards from DISers and yours was one of them! I cried again, but this time with a smile on my face.

If I never said it before, thank you. I remember when you lost your Dad, and I wondered how you could STAND it! Now I know too well.

I'm so sorry Robin! I can't imagine

She said it was right, it's right for a child to bury a Mom, not a Mom to bury a child. It was a year after I buried my son and even in her pain she wanted to acknowledge mine.

Heh...looks like you'll have something in common with my mom when you meet us.

I bet it had cats on it, Robin. I always have dreams about my dad. In the dreams, he is always telling me that he isn't really dead. I hope it is true.

Glad to make you with tears of happiness.

I'm so sorry Robin. Know she is with you, always.

My heart goes out to you, Robin. My father passed away this March and I didn't know what loss was until my father passed. It's strange but as I was reading this thread Eric Clapton's "father's eyes" came on. I had just put on one of his Cd's. As I type the next song came on. It is "tears in heaven". Kind of strange!

I'm going to do Christmas at my house this year. I want my Mom to be close to me so she doesn't sit at home feeling depressed. I have some really bad memories of that whole week in march and I'm sure it is a lot harder for her.

God bless you.

(((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))) to you....

I understand. I will tell you it does get easier with time, and one learns to rejoice in the memory rather than dwell on the loss.

Like Snoopy said. Hugs Robin - My Mom's been gone for 7+ years andDad for 12. I miss them both terribly! Especially around the Holidays.

Dear Robin, Hugs for you. I am dreading the day, in the not so far off future, when my own DM will no longer be with us. Perhaps you and Michael can plan a trip to WDW during the holidays to put a little joy back into the season.

So sorry Robin.

{{{Hugs}}} to you Robin.

 

[DisneyObsessed]

I understand completely. My moms been gone 5 years and my dad passed away in June. It definitely leaves an empty spot in your heart.

Pebblszzz, I understand your frustration. I've lost both my parents and have no brothers or sisters. I feel like an orphan at 44 years old. I have so many questions to ask, and no one to answer them. It's a very lonely feeling.

 

[DawnCt]

I totally understand. My mother has been gone for 7 years and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her...and my dad too. When I was very young, like most kids I worried that someday my parents would get old and pass and I just wished they would live until I "was old enough" to handle it. I have learned that we are "never old enough". God Bless You.

 

[helenabear]

Robin, I feel for you... I lost my mom 10 years ago (I was 16 and she was 48) I always miss her, especially this time of year.

 

[Serena]

I miss my mommy too.

Oh Robin (and everyone else who is missing their folks). I am sitting here all teary-eyed. We lost my grandmother 10 days before Christmas 16 years ago. I don't know how my mom got through it. We all miss her so much, even to this day, but I do think it gets easier, and as some other posters have said, I think it does get easier. It's never easy, but it gets easier.

Robin, I think you are an amazing woman, and I know your mom is so very proud of you.

<----that's from me

<----that's from DS who asked me why I was said, and when I told him it was for a friend, he said we should give you a hug.
