I was thinking about you today, wondering how you've been.

[RevCheesehead]

15. It's been a rough weekend.

But I'm taking off this Sunday - I'm just not up to helping my churches celebrate Mother's Day this year. I'll be with my Dad on that day.

:hug:x a brazillion

[lizziegrace]

29. I'm glad you'll be with your dad

A birthday and Mother's Day within two weeks makes for a very tough time. I'll be thinking of you this weekend. :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

31. Some years, they fall on the same day.

And one year, my brother and I forgot to get her a card, let alone a gift. We heard about that one for several months.

[Guava Jelly]

12. As a fellow loss-eee if thats a word

You have all i can muster.
I lost my mother a few years back..I miss her so damn much myself.

my photo shopped mom..Bestest mom ever :)

[RevCheesehead]

17. Look at that smile!

She looks like she was a lot of fun to be with. :hug:

Here's my mommy:

[Guava Jelly]

27. I think they would have gotten along smashingly

here is a quick phot shop for you

[RevCheesehead]

30. That's really beautiful!

And I agree. My mom got along with everyone... I wish I could. :)

[Guava Jelly]

36. Nothing compares to a mom

I truly believe that the greatest truest love on the planet can only be between a parent and child..
I think as nuch as you miss her..if there is an afterlife..she misses you just as much..
take care..

[LeahD]

90. If eyes are the window to the soul,

your mom was kind and loving....a very bright light.

[RevCheesehead]

26. Hi, sweetie!

That's so beautiful! :hug:

How are you feeling? I heard you were quite sick for a while. :hug:

[Ptah]

32. Yeah, I had a tough few weeks.

I'm on the mend, slowly but surely regaining
my strength. I might even go back to work tomorrow.

Again, I hold you in my thoughts and prayers.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

53. I'm so glad to know you're getting better.

Just take it slow and easy - you don't want to push it too fast. :hug:

[merh]

22. Aww, sweetie. (((((( hugs )))))))

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

You and your dad have been in my prayers. :loveya:

Wish I could take some of that pain from you. :pals:

[RevCheesehead]

28. I know you do, my friend.

But I think I need that pain right now. It's the only way I have to express all that love, and the rage at losing her.

I'll be happy to get it back to you when I'm done. :silly:


And thanks for the prayers. Dad called me today, saying "I was thinking of you, and wanted to call you, especially today." My dad: :loveya:

:hug::loveya:

[merh]

35. You know where I am if you need me

or need to give that pain over this way. :hug:

Do you have a movie that she loved or that makes you cry when you watch it?

If you do, put it in the VCR/DVD player and get some kleenex and let the tears flow.

Every Mother's Day I spend it in front of the tube, watching tear jerkers.
It helps me.

I love you, Popey, and am here for you always. :pals: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

42. I did most of the deep crying last Saturday.

Just took out my contacts, and cried all day, then slept, then woke up with a killer headache, cried, and slept some more. It was cathartic.

Thanks, my friend. I'll call sometime soon (I'm pretty pooped tonite). :hug::loveya:

[merh]

55. Get some rest, sweetie.

:boring:

:hug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

57. I need to stay awake for The Daily Show/Colbert Report.

Maybe I'll go to bed with Keith. :evilgrin:

[merh]

70. in your dreams

:evilgrin:

Enjoy the laughter, then rest. :hug:

[Mutley]

33. ...

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

43. Thanks, mutley.

:hug: I love your name. My dad always refered to mutley as "that asthmatic dog." :)

[Mutley]

45. Heeheehee.

Thanks. Mutley was my favorite when I was a kid.

[joneschick]

34. c'mere Rev. MamaJones has a hug for you

those firsts after the loss are so hard. I lost my dad 3 years ago Apr 2 and I'm coming up on my brother's first anniversay this July. The firsts without are awful. May the pain be as brief as possible and the memories forever.:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

44. Thanks, MamaJones.

Hey, isn't today Scruffy's b'day, too? :hug::hug:
I know you'll be glad to get her home soon!

[joneschick]

52. she turned 15 yesterday

and her US arrival is scheduled for July 10. Can't wait!!! I put the birthday tablecloth out yesterday even though she wasn't here---at her request.

[RevCheesehead]

54. We'll have to do a Milwaukee DU "welcome back, Scruffy" party.

Please give her my best. And may the days pass quickly for you!

[havocmom]

38. Happy birthday to Mom. And hugs for the Rev.

:hug: It gets a little easier as time goes on, Rev. And it is good to mark the occassion.

[RevCheesehead]

48. It sure is.

I can't believe it's been only 2 months. In some ways, it feels like just a week ago, and in others, it feels like years. I can't explain it... it just is.

Thanks for the encouragement. :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

40. Here is my biggest & my sweetest hug for you!

I'm really sorry, Rev.

[RevCheesehead]

49. Aww, Joani!

Mom used to hug people like that before she got sick. She was famous for cutting off people's air supplies. :)

:hug:

[Floogeldy]

41. Hey you!

[RevCheesehead]

64. Thanks, girl.

[GirlinContempt]

86. Not *always*

Everyone has to have a little downtime :)

[greatauntoftriplets]

61. A big hug to you, Rev....

My mother died a week short of her 94th birthday 3 days after Christmas. It was a quick heart attack and she was perfectly with it up until the end.

But this is a difficult weekend for me. Same for you. :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

65. Exactly.

In our church, we honor all women on Mother's Day. But I've always added extra prayers for those who have lost their mothers, for those who have wanted to be mothers but could not, and for those who have had poor or unloving relationships with their moms.

Blessings to you this weekend, too. :hug:

[deadparrot]

62. You got it, Rev.

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

66. Thanks, deadparrot.

[supernova]

68. Awww, sweetie

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

It might help if you had a little celebration in her honor. Do something you know she would have enjoyed.

[RevCheesehead]

77. That's a terrific idea.

Maybe I'll take a drive through Door County to see the cherry blossoms. We always wanted to do that.

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

It's hard. I know. My mom's birthday is/would have been March 14. It's been 29 years and I miss her every year.

If it helps, even though you'll always remember and you'll always miss her, it Does become more about remembering and cherishing those memories.

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

81. Yeah, the memories are helpful.

It's just that the first year seems so very hard at times.
Thanks, RRR. :hug:

[SeattleGirl]
