:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: Sanny! 14 years for me. I hate it that my mom is gone. Its still makes me angry, and sad, It always will. There have been so many times I needed my mom, and my only wish was to have her back. I get angry that DD does not have a Grandmom, (DH mom is gone too). There are times when I too feel my mom around me. I too agree that it makes me so mad when I hear about folks upset with there parents, when I would give ANYTHING to have just 5 minutes more with my mom. (I think I posted that on here once before.)

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Hugs Sanny.

My brother died 9 years ago. I can't believe it's gone by so fast either. Next year will be 10 years.
I understand the feeling well.

You were young when your mom passed, that must have been very hard for you.

Sannois, it does just hit us sometimes, doesn't it? Posted Image :rose:

I know how lucky I was that I had my parents until I was an adult, and that they both died at home, without extended disabilities that diminished their lives, but they did go close together. And sometimes, even after 14 years, it hits me too. So I'm thinking of you.

Sanny, what a milestone. It'll be 27 years on April 7th for my Dad, 17 years on April 19th for my Mom. And I'm only 40! In six years, I'll be the same age my father was when he died.

I was really, really close to my Mom. It's only in the last few years that I have started thinking "Mom would have loved hearing about this," instead of "I can't wait to call Mom and tell her this" when I got some juicy horsey news. :no: For years, I would be halfway through dialing my home number before remembering.

Thank you so much guys. It seems there are many of us that have lost our parents. I know I am not alone.
I know folks have problems with their parents, No relatioinship is perfect. I always feel I missed out of so much time with her.
I was mad for years, when I was younger, Now I just think how many times I have needed her. I dont think you ever get over it.
I know they say that a parent losing a child is much more traumatic.. but who is to say. Your hugs and kindness mean so much to me. And tons of hugs back to all of you! :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :rose:

Late reply but sending hugs. :hug: :hug:

It is a reminder to us all to work on the quality of our relationships because the quantity (in years) is an unknown.
