I'm gonna go hug my mom.

You'll be in my thoughts today, sweetie. *Hugs*

If my head was out of my buns a bit more I would have remembered too...but you know my thoughts are with you Leigh...breathe deep and know that she is right there with you.

And shame on you for your background...now I want cookies!

*HUGS*

Karen - give her one for me, too. :)

Sarah - thank you so much ((hugs))

Susan - thanks for making me laugh, and sorry for making you hungry. LOL You're right, she's here with me, as she is each and every day. :) Thank you.

Kirsi - your hugs mean so much! Thank you. ((hugs))

Aren't our mothers just the best ever? My heart in in accord with yours as I too lost my mother and best friend in July. I have incredible memories. I still cry and miss her and I do not regret one tear or heartfelt longing as she was the light in my world. I do have the happiest photo of mother that I keep next to my computer. She used to place her index finger on my nose and make a little BUZZ noise and smile that sweet smile of hers. Well, not to sound silly but sometimes, I buzz her nose and smile and tell her what is on my mind and in my heart. She is with me in spirit and I told her to stay near me so when it's time for me to follow I can take her hand. I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon…the point is that I still share my days with her and hope she can watch the remainder of my life unfold. We shared almost everything! You'll be okay because you have your mother with you too.

I'll be thinking of you. I lost a teenage son a few years back, and I think that it's important to think of those you've lost on their special days. It keeps them alive in our hearts.

Did my comment disappear? I just wanted to say that my thoughts will be with you.

I cannot begin to thank you all enough for taking the time to leave your thoughtful and supportive comments. Your words touched my heart and your hugs made me feel the warmth of friendship, which is a beautiful thing. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Theresa, your story made me cry, but not bitter tears. They were tears mixed with a smile on my face, and your words brought back my own memories of the special little things my mom and I shared. Thank you!

((((HUGS to ayou all))))

It is nice to sit back quietly for awhile to think back on people who mean so much to you, yet are no longer around. My thoughts are with you.

When we lost my grandfather about a year ago, I didn't talk about it at all with my online friends for a good 6 months. Now that a little more time has passed, I remember that last day less and less, but I still remember his wisdom at bible study, and his creativity in the wood shop.

My thoughts are with you, losing a loved one is so difficult, but the memories they leave us with make us so strong.

Lyndon, thank you so much for taking the time to leave your thoughts. It is very much appreciated!

Dustin, I can relate to that very well. I went for a very long time without doing much blogging at all. I really withdrew into myself. I suppose I was processing everything that had happened, and it just took me a while. Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. It really touched me.

You're in my prayers, Leigh. Thursday (4/26) would have been my parents' anniversary -- so I'm having one of those bittersweet days, too. Remember that Mom is always with you; all you have to do is think of her, and she'll be there. Love and hugs, Sweetie!
