I miss my mom... beyond words

[ShihTzuTylenol]

this goes out with a hug to a very special person----you know who you are....just be strong a little longer

Li'l Bit loves you, Gus-Gus.

I'm sorry for your loss. My mother died 3 years ago from kidney failure. Problem was that what she actually suffered from was cirrhosis from an alcohol problem I wasn't even aware of because I had been away. She was actually getting better until the docs decided to move her feeding tube from her nose to directly into her stomach, which gave her an infection that killed her kidneys. Evidently, they already had a liver ready to give her, but the infection made them turn her away. Now I just hate hospitals, period.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
by Robert Frost


Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

From my own experience I can not tell you it lessens with time. It sucked when it was coming, it sucked when it happened and it just continues to suck. It's there like the sun and the moon, this new thing in the sky, orbiting even if you turn away from it.

But "living out every moment" following the example of those who had the wit and vigour and courage spark to do that….is not a bad way to pass the time, and to honour those who were intrepid before us.

(An old poem I wrote once)

I really never want to see you cry
The tokens spirits blow to northern sky
Old keys to unlock
Which the farewell hymns block
Sink and swim forever in the fly
So this is goodbye

In the end some things are left behind
To slow down or temporarily bind
Kissing all lanterns
And anything that burns
I will for sure miss the scenery kind
So this is dead line

oh, Steven...mother passed away, peacefully, early Friday evening--September 23, 2011______a belated hug for you my friend/wish I could have been there....but I'm here now for you, so....


thank you so much, Zaphod....


and in my search, I found some wonderful gentlemen to call friends---thanks so much guys: I wish I could hug each and everyone of you....

the storm didn't kill me....so now I listen to the trees, the ghosts and the buildings sing and I know the good of this place has helped see me through


omg. I can't believe our parents passed away on the same day and even around the same time. I read your post yesterday and just broke down. I couldn't form a reply until now. Even now I'm in tears. I love the vid that you posted. Thank you for sharing that with me. Every first event, holiday, birthday etc. without my dad is so hard. I'm dreading September 23. The closer it gets the more I find I'm thinking about my dad.

I'm thinking about you and will try to PM when I can gather myself and form a readable email. Thank you again for the beautiful vid.

Steven.
