I lost my mom in 2005, it will be 6 years come this sept. Lost my dad 2 yrs ago. Sometimes it is really hard being an adult "orphan". My mom fought cancer for 37 years before she died, so in many ways she was and is still my hero. She kept her sense of humor and determination throughout all those years of fighting the monster inside of her. I miss her terribly. It still feels like only yesterday. I remember praying for a miracle during her last days. Took me a while, but I finally realized that we had our miracle all along with those 37 years God let us have her and took care of her. I would like to wish all the moms, stepmoms, adoptive moms, foster moms, stand-in moms, etc. a very special Mother's Day. And to those of you who still have moms, give them a hug from me..... My kids won't be home for this Mother's Day, so I am feeling a bit blue right now....so sorry.
