Parents are so much a part of who we are that they will always be with us. So sorry for your loss.

Melinda, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I know what Nancy is saying here...my father passed away in 1978, so 33 years ago, and I miss him still!! I was only 27 when he passed, and he and I were very close. Then my step-dad passed 4 years ago, and he was my dad as long as my own father was here. I miss him, too. It's very hard losing a parent. Be blessed with your memories, and talk about her and laugh with others as often as you can, because that certainly helps in the healing! Prayers for you and family!!
