Oh Nancy, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember, even though I knew my mom was dying and it was only a matter of time, the finality of it was really tough to fathom for me. I hear your "forever" coming through loud and clear, and it is that "forever" that makes the ending of life on earth so difficult for us who are still here. Please, please drive safely, rest when you need to, remember all the happy times you shared with your mom, listen to her voice (you will still hear her for the rest of your life, as I still hear my mom who left Earth in 1980), and remember the pieces of her that still live on in you and your sister----that is a mother's legacy. I am so glad I had the chance to meet you and those pieces of your mother.

Hugs from me and Molly

Happy travels!

So sorry to hear of your loss. The circle will be unbroken in years to come when it is your time to join her. Until then she will live on in your memories forever.
God bless and safe travels to you.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((Birdie)))))))))))))))))))))))) Losing our mother's is so difficult and no matter how much it's their time (or past their time) we never want to let them go. Your Mom is at peace now and hopefully you soon can be at peace with her leaving. She never truly leaves you - just her body did. She will forever be with you.

Drive safe, stay safe - Hugs to you, my friend.

Dear Birdie, so sorry to hear about your Mom, my best love to you and your family. We lost my Mom in 1993, so many years ago, but at the same time feels like yesterday. ((((((HUGS))))

My heart is crying with you Nancy...I don't think a body understands just what forever means until you lose someone you love, I know I didn't. Peace to you and your family, and a big hug for you. Drive safely, my friend.

Birdie, I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. My sympathies go out to you and your family. You were lucky to have had her for so many years. I lost my mom in 95 and still miss her. She was not only my mother, but my best friend and companion. We did many things together. I could not have asked for better parents.

Drive safely on your journey to OK. Although you travel with a heavy heart, know that your mom is in a much better place now, free of pain and with the many friends and family she has 'planted" before her. My the Lord's blessing be upon her and my the Angels take her into Paradise.

Thinking of you as you journey west and journey also through so many memories....long car drives are so like that. May both a you and your sister find some grace and peace to strengthen you through the "details" that need attending to. Drive safely, journey through and find joy....past the sadness.
