Missing my mom today......a little more than usual....

[live4christp1]

.....she would have been 74 today. Second year I haven't been able to hug her and tell her happy birthday.

My mom & Alicia on our 2005 WDW trip enjoying and Itzakadozie pop and a rest. Sure wish she would have been here to go with us this year.

I miss my Mom more on her birthday too. I send hugs to Heaven and I know she feels them.

I understand what you are going through, I lost my mom March 14, 2009. Some days are just harder than others.

I hear you. My Dad's 83rd birthday would have been 7/25 and on this coming Monday it will be his two year anniversary since his death. He is very much on my mind. Think back to the wonderful times you shared together and know she is in a better place. It looks as though your children were old enough to know her and enjoy her. I always take comfort that my DD knew her four grandparents. She was very close with both grandfathers (my FIL passed away six months after my Dad).

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs being sent your way.

Hugs to you ... Moms are so special ...

I remember a grief counselor telling me that birthdays, holidays and anniversaries are the hardest... and they always come every year! All I can tell you it does get a little easier with time.

My precious Dad died ON my birthday and for years I couldn't even acknowledge my own birthday. It gets a little less painful every year and hopefully one day I'll learn to live with it.

Hugs again to you.

What beautiful pictures of your mom and your family. She looks like such a loving woman. I will say an extra prayer for you and your family today. And wishing your mom a happy heavenly birthday.

I know what you mean. My Mom passed away on April first. Since I work mornings at a school, I am home for the summer. For the previous 9 summers, she was here in my home. This is really hard. I miss her so much.

What wonderful pictures! I certainly can relate with how you feel; I imagine I'll have a tough time with my own birthday for the rest of my life, since that's when my mom died.

It's awesome that you had a Dis-mom; what wonderful memories you must have.

My sister's birthday is this week and my mother's next week. I have been in a funk for several days. This time of year is always hard for me.

 

[live4christp1]

Thanks everyone!

 

[Tinkerbelle's Mom]

to you.

I can understand how you feel. I lost my mom in January of 2004 and each year when her birthday rolls around (next week) I miss her all that much more. Birthdays were a big deal to my mom. So my dd (9) and I always do something special on my moms birhtday to celebrate the mom/grandma we miss so much.

 

[disneyfans95]

thoughts are with you. I lost both my parents about 7 years ago., As my kids get older and do more and more with my inlaws, I really miss my parents and wish my kids had time with them

 

[MickeysMommy]

Oh, Cristy, I feel your pain My beloved Daddy (below) passed away 4 years ago this past February and I miss him so much

 

[Rora]

My heart goes out to you. Although I haven't lost my mom, I have lost some very close friends and family members.

Your pictures are beautiful.

 

[live4christp1]

Thanks everyone again! Hugs to us all, dealing with loss is tough.

The pictures really need to be scanned and uploaded.....those have some glare as they are pictures I took of pictures (with cell phone).....I keep them here on my desk. That was mom & dad's first trip to Disney and sadly the only trip for my mom. They enjoyed it though and got many great pictures of them posing with the kids & characters and in Mickey & Minnie's house.

Cristy,

I lost my mom this spring. I am just now having more good days than bad. But sometimes it still hurts so bad that I can't breathe.

I too had the privilege of sharing the "magic" with my mom. My mom, sister and I went to WDW to celebrate my mom's 65th bday in 2005.

Time eases the pain but never diminishes it. Birhdays and holidays are the most difficult. Please take comfort in knowing you were a special and important part of such a well-lived life. And also take comfort in the gift of memories.

Sending comforting thoughts and prayers to you.

My mother's birthday is at the end of August...and it is always a very hard time for me. More so than her 'deathday' so to speak. Her birthday was the last time my brother and I got together with her for dinner...birthday celebration for us. She died a month later!!!

I am one of those who saves cards from year to year. Well...I still have the last birthday card my mother sent me. I take it out every year on my birthday (yesterday) and think about all she gave me.

So, obviously, I can understand how you feel about your mom's birthday. She would be happy you choose to remember her on her birthday, I'm sure.

 

[wdw4us2]

to you. I believe I share your feelings. Today would also have been my Mom's birthday. She's been gone for 33 years. Some years are tougher than others - and for some reason this year is one of the tough ones.

Focus on the happy memories and remember all the good she brought to you and your children's lives. It gets easier with each passing year.

 

[Sheree Bobbins]

I'm sorry you are missing her. I hope you feel better soon.
