Default Saddest Day of My life!!!

After a long and lengthy illness, the Lord called home his and my families Angel. I lost my mother, my pulse, my inspiration on 16 October 2011....one day before my birthday. She was the strongest person and have know. The kindest of hearts and the most unselfish person in the world. Her sisters passed at an early age and she legally adopted all of there children. This little lady raised basically raised 16 of us, never putting her self first...always the family ahead of her own wants and needs. I cannot describe the pain, or ache that i am having now and do not know when it will end. I am who I am because of her and would not be here without her help.

When I bought my dream car the C5, she was the 1st hottie to go for a spin. She was more proud and excited about tit than i was. We struggled growing up and she was just happy to see me get what I dreamed of starting with the C3! At 34 yrs old I know I still needed her around when I had hard times. Guys and Gals I miss her so much already and owe my life to her!!!!!!

God Bless,

So Sorry for your loss.
I feel your pain as I lost my Mother 3 yrs ago, 2 days before my 55th birthday. Lost my Dad last year.
I still catch myself to this day wanting to pick up the phone for our daily chats.
I know how much it hurts but you should remember all the good memories you have had with her.

Sorry for your loss

I lost my Mother when I was 35, it's tough to go through but having good memories helps you get through it. Keep moving forward and make her proud as you continue on

Remember that she made you who you are today. Live the rest of your life through her.

I lost my mother 2 days before my 33rd birthday so I definitely know how you feel.

My sincere condolences to you and your family. Loosing a parent has got to one of the worse things one can experience in life. I lost my dad a year ago yesterday, not a day goes by that he isn't in my thoughts.

I lost my MOM in 06. It was just us since I was six. AS mad as I tried to get at God I couldn't for he reminded me of all the time he allowed me to have with her. It doesn't get any easier but bearable. She's in a much better place where sorrow, pain and suffering are now things of the past.

God bless you and get closer to God I'm a witness he will see you through.

It's obvious thru your comments and your Mothers actions she was an extraordinary woman.

I'm sorry for your loss, and I extend those condolences to all your family.

We need more people like your Mom in this world. It seems she was a real role model as seen thru her actions not words..

G-d bless..............

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my mother 2 years ago and reading this reminded me of how proud she was when I got my corvette also. I can't tell you that the pain will ever go away, but I can tell you to take your time grieving. The process consists of different stages, and can bring you back to stage 1 after being in the other stages in a flash. I sill have trouble on rainy days and with signs everywhere. I can tell you, that the memories of her sick will be replaced by good memories of her well in time. RIP.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Take time to grieve...don't try to rush the process. Your beloved Mom sounds like a remarkable woman.

I lost my Mom 2 years ago, and it still hurts as much as the day she died. Even now, I'll think of something I want to tell her about...or ask her..then sting of reality hits hard.

You have something to look forward to: she'll come to you in your dreams. The peace you will feel will be profound.

Take care and be kind to yourself.

Susan

My deepest condolences go out to you.

Your mother can not come back to you but you can be reunited with her in heaven.

I lost my father in 2003 after a long illness and I was comforted by the thought that letting him go was better than wanting to keep him here as he had no quality of life. It would have been selfish of me to want him to live in the condition he was in near the end of his life. I used the time he was sick to tell him what a great father he had been and recount many good memories.

Now I am reliving the same situation with my mother who has been diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. I do not want to see her suffer but once again am happy for the opportunity to spend time with her and let her know how much I love and appreciate her.

Your pain is deep and God has promised us a comforter through the Holy Spirit. Trust and faith will see you through this.

God bless and keep you.
