I spend alot of time with her now also and cherish every minute. My youngest brother still lives at home and my sister just lives next door. She's helping me deal with Dad's passing by showing us all that she's ok. Just know that you are in my prayers. You canmake me a friend i you like, and we'll chat again soon. God Bless

What a beautiful relationship your family has. I cannot imagine the loss your Mother feels. When a couple have been together and are as close as your parents It's almost cruel that one must go before the other. I'm so glad to here that you're just letting her express her feelings. That is what she needs. I know at times it must be almost unbearable for you. I lost my Mother on June 11Th,2009. I miss her so much and for so many reasons. Right now I have to work on the sadness. I know there will come a time when I will be able to think about her and not cry. Right now I still miss her too much.
I pray that you receive the strength of your loving family to help get you through this difficult time. Laurenelyse

They were married 63 years and the last 19 months she sat by his bedside at the nursing home 8-10 hours per day, or longer, 7 days per week. Their love and faith have been an inspiration to us all. Daddy passed away on May 6, 2009. We miss you!
