very sad day for me

[mawhite63]

Aggie I'm so sorry. I lost my dad over 20 years ago and at times it feels like it just happened yesterday.

My mother just passed away on Easter as well. I actually just got back from being up there and clearing out her house late last night. I also lived far away from my mom and hadn't had a chance to see her that often over the past five years. Before the recession when we had to move far away, I used to see her at least three weekends a month. After the economy tanked and we had to move where work is, I could only see her three times a year, and that was very hard.

I've very much appreciated reading other people's posts in this thread too about their own loss.

so sorry for your loss. I live in NC also. My mom is 80 years old and lives close by.

Mother's day is always sad for those of us who have loss a parent.  My mother have been gone for over twenty-five years and I miss her so much, but I am glad she knew how much I loved her and I am so bless to still have my father who is 93 years old.

I hear you.  I lost my mom in February of this year and I don't even want to think about Mother's Day.  We, too, were very close. And everyday I have an overwhelming desire to talk to her.  My mother and I had more fun together and I thought I would have no regrets, but you can always find something you wish you did better.  Do not dwell on regrets. She knew you loved her.  Mother's know.
