My momma died today at 1123am. So funny how that worked. It's the same time that both my boys were born. (1123pm for my oldest and 1123am for my youngest).
The grief I have is that I will miss her, that she will never see my boys grow up, that she and I could never grow old together (DH goes "where am I in this."), that I can't hold her in my arms one more time.
At least she's out of pain. I'm so grateful for that. I'm grateful that she was still here so I could say I love her. I'm glad I was here when she passed, and not 3 hours away.
Thank you all for your support in this tough time. I've relied on you all heavily. /hugs
Words can't express how I feel for you ho11yday . The words just aren't good enough. They aren't deep enough to tell you how much I am sure this all hurts and how we wish we could help more. I'm glad you got to be with her and got the time to say your farewells. I pray for your peace. It's often not the first few weeks, but the lingering and long term grief that can feel so empty. So lonely. Please don't hesitate to continue talking about her, venting, whatever you want to do. You can do it here. For as long as you need.
ho11yday, I am so sorry but so glad you were able to be there for her and spend that time with her. I cannot express enough how much my heart goes out to you and your family. You are all in my prayers. -Lots of hugs-

ho11yday, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is such a strange feeling, but at least you can take solace in the fact that she's no longer in pain and you were able to be by her side in her final moments. You and your family have my sincerest condolences and will be in my thoughts and prayers. We're all here for you, whatever you may need.
ho11yday Very sorry for the loss of your Mother. Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart.
My DH loves that I take ds swimming because that means I have to shave my legs at least once a week!! Haha stupid shaving...
We just started doing this last week and I almost left the house without shaving.! That's how bad I've been about it. Poor guy! It's winter though and I'm lucky I get to wash right now with how whiney she's been.

My DH called the cops on our white trash neighbors across the street because they have their car parked at least 2 feet away from the curb. The sheriff is out there right now and it looks the aren't home. It looks like they will be getting 2 tickets: one for the car on the street, and the other for the big red truck they have parked on their back yard (the truck hasn't moved since it snowed the first time here in MN).

Today we were moving our couch and I reached my hand down the side and lost my mind because I touched what I thought was a slug...it was a pickle...dd must have thrown it after eating and I didn't notice!

ho11yday - I'm so, so sorry. Nothing I can say will make you feel better, & that's ok. It's important to feel what you feel. but know that we're all here for you.

So cutest thing just happened. DD was smacking the floor with her hand, so I did too. She looked at me, giggled and then smacked the floor again. I did it again.
Then she started to smack the floor a few times and look at me expectantly. I would repeat her smacks. She was soo happy about the whole thing.
ho11yday, I am so sorry about your mom. Losing a parent is difficult. I am glad for you that you got to say goodbye, to tell her you love her. Be kind to yourself, and know that there are many good people thinking about you and sending you t&p's.
My cousin is showing signs of pre-e. She's been in twice this week but only just started showing signs Tuesday. So far, her bp is fine and no major swelling, but she does have protein in her urine. She's 36w+4 today, on bed rest for the weekend, and going in Monday for more labs. If she's still showing signs, she may be induced. Fingers crossed!
