			Today is my mother's birthday...she would have been 91 years old.  I miss her so much it hurts.  I want to touch her, I want to hear her voice.

			I know you do.  I remember when you would be so ready for her to head to Florida!  She sure kept you on your toes at times!  I was so glad when you both got along better.

			Me too!!  I'm so glad God gave me the patience to take care of her and gave her the patience to live with us.  I wish it would have happened sooner, but we came together as mother and daughter and I have no doubt whatsoever how much she loved me.  AND....I love her!

			Janet its lovely that you both had that relationship, and it is such a comfort to know you did the right thing and was there for your Mum unconditionally. I have just recently lost my Uncle (like my Dad really), i had taken care of him and my Aunt all my life, but more so in the last 20 years, i did everything for them.....not because i had to, but because i loved them and wanted to do it. Now i am not saying it wasnt hard at times, long long nights in hospitals, constant visiting, shopping, cleaning, organising, washing....basically running 2 households. Now i am lost, it is going to take some time to get used to not having to worry if the phone rings anymore. I am unwell too with a really bad cough and pleurisy..... so so painful, had x-ray and all clear, Dr just told me this morning it will take time, so thats me in bed resting.....thinking, thinking,thinking some more. It is so very hard to lose the people we love - take care.

			It's so hard to lose a parent.  Mine died 8 months apart, and I thought I would die, too.  Sometimes the pain of missing my mom is almost more than I can stand, so I try to remember the funny things so I can laugh!  Janet, hang in there.  Your mom raised a strong woman!
