My mom passed away on Saturday while I was there to help her in Seattle. She had rallied both times I'd been there but had gotten weaker and weaker. I was actually out of the house (for the first time in days) when my sister was there and she passed after coughing. Her heart had had enough and was done. She was peaceful though, and so glad to pass on to her new beautiful body from the old worn out shell. I miss her a lot, struggling a bit. I came home on Sunday as I couldn't stand being in Seattle any longer and have missed my home. It's rough here, though, too, what usually might seem like a pin***** of annoyance is like a stab - I'm a bit overly sensitive right now. . My mom is the reason I'm here today - she had a huge hand in my life transformation - getting the DS (she paid) and helping me while I was in school (she let me live at her house), and why I moved to Las Vegas (to be near to help her at her winter home). So, in essence, everything good about my life now has come about because of my mom. She even had me stay at her home in Seattle when I had my plastics in March, savings big bucks there.

Anyway, she was a very kind and gracious woman who loved her children very much. I hope to be as fun loving and rolling with life as she is. Her favorite line was from Auntie Mame: You gotta live! Live,Live, Live! Life's a banquet and most people are out there starving to death"

I'm sorry to hear of that, Jill. Eventually, your emotions will catch up to what your brain already knows - she's at peace now and undoubtedly much happier and without pain.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's passing...AND, I am so very happy for you that you have such beautiful memories of her. You had the opportunity to have a great relationship with a great mom. That is a blessing and not to be taken for granted. So many folks don't have that.

She sounds like an amazing woman. I know she will be greatly missed.

Dear Jill........I'm so sorry to hear you've lost your mother. We all know that one day we're going to get "that call". So many have already. Take care of yourself and surround yourself with pleasant memories of you dear Mother. She's with you whether you feel it yet or not.

Warmest hugs,
