Beautiful. My mother died 34 days after my 32nd birthday, almost seven months ago, from colon cancer.
During the days before she died, I lied to her by telling her I'll be all right.
I wonder if she knew how much I love her and how much I still need her.
I miss my mother.

This makes me grateful that I am FRIENDS with my mom. I do get overwhelmed at times in taking care of her but the above really puts things in perspective. How many times must she have felt overwhelmed in raising me herself?! (And people...this is me we're talkin' 'bout, so you know it can't have been easy!  )

Aw Di, it coulda been a lot worse too!!!
My mom died of cancer, and I took care of her for about ten years before she died. It was really only the last few years that we really became friends though...at least we had time to say goodbye and cry on each others' shoulders when we knew it wouldn't be much longer...and I never told her that when I was six I decided I'd rather be like my dad. I think she knew it though...we had our problems, but no one ever knew me better than she did.

Awesome post. It's true that we take the people we love the most for granted and many times hurt them as well. I live with my mother now since my father died but even though it gets hard sometimes, I tell her I love her often. All 4 of us children are close to her and will be always.

My mother died of breast cancer when she was 44 yrs old and I was 17 at the time.
She left behind 8 children from ages 12-22 and a useless husband....
I never got a chance to get a good relationship with her....I miss her even after all these years.... those of you that still are fortunate enough to have your mothers around.....hug and kiss them and tell them how much you love and appreciate them.. while you still have her around to do it.
Thanks ifet for sharing.... Hugs

Jerry, everything is not always about drama... nothing wrong with sharing some memories with others and getting teary eyed.

That "dash" is a short time.

I told my children every day that loved them and now they call me and tell me I am loved - it makes it all worthwhile.

even at my age of 44, my mother is still a good friend. we talk regularly (weekly) jus to say hi, get updates on her side of the family (well, easier now that her brother died recently) and me givin my updates on my family (ok, i am seperating from wife), and all that. The last two months have been hard due to personal issues mentioned above, but we have always been there. The only time i wasnt, was when she was between her first and her current husband. She had a few boyfriends that I would not have approved of.. ok, one held a gun to her head.. That time, keeps me close to her, in contact with. not a stranger. She is the de facto head of the family, coordinator of the news (operator of the grapevine), and doin it at 66 yrs. She doesnt slow down either.

thats sad, considering that my mom nearly died a couple of times and that was before i turned nineteen, (suicidal commits and internal bleeding from some syst or somethin). she held me when i cried for two days straight recently and i thanked her by yelling at her and telling her to leave me alone. i'm going to tell her i love her right now.
