It's been a year since Mom passed away...and it feels like forever and it feels like yesterday.

I was with Michelle in Barnes and Noble when my brother called me...I went to find Michelle, told her what happened and in my shock said "But finish your shopping, ok?" She, of course, did no such thing and went with me to the nursing home and was just there for me. I don't know if I even thanked her as it was all kind of a blur but I appreciated her calm presence more than I'm sure she knew.

*hugs* I know what you mean when you say it feels like forever and it feels like yesterday. My mom has been gone almost seven years, and it still feels that way.

*hugs*
I know what you mean when you say it feels like forever and it feels like yesterday, Ive just never had the words to express the feeling.
So I thank you for summing up my feelings for me, and I hope your doing ok.
*hugs*

It's funny because I don't feel like she is gone. I feel her presence with me every day of my life. Maybe because she helped to mold me into the person I am. I can see her smile, I can hear her throaty laugh and I can remember her special words to me.
Hugs, dear cousin, now and always, I love you!

My thoughts are with you today. Hugs.

I was thinking of you all week. I knew this day was coming. You posted a beautiful picture of remembrance to her.

((hugs)) to you and I'll be thinking of you today.

Lovely peaceful picture to commemorate your Mom and this day.

Big hugs

I think that a moment like that is something that you will never forget.

I love your choice of photos, so peaceful, serene but full of hope too. Gone from your sight but not gone. I like that- it's a comforting thought.

I'm glad that she was there for you! I hope you have a peaceful day. I'm making cookies and lots of things with chocolate in them! Come on over!

When we had our death and dying seminar, they said that people never forget when they were told of someones death. For me that is so true, I can remember the absolute shock, and just like pain of loss the instant I heard the news of the family friends death last year.

I really like your picture, it reminds me of the Buddhist idea of life - a wave comes in and goes out and that's all there is to life.

I can't imagine how hard it must be for you today, so hope you are doing ok. Hug.

You must miss her so much. I'm thinking of you today, Janet. ((((hug))))

Sending tons of sunshine, hugs, and blessings to you Janet!!! ((()))

James lost his Mom on Friday the 13th in December of 2002. He has a hard time on the 13's and this time.

I bought him a new pair of running shoes, so he can just run. I think I'm gonna run too. I think running is good. Oh God, I'm rambling on...

(((We are thinking of you!!!)))

((((((hugs))))) Janet, thinking of you.

Janet, I thought you of this morning when I remembered the date. I hope you and your dad are doing well today. It's good that you have each other to keep company today. Enjoy the day and I love the picture you chose to use. Thinking of you!

((Janet))

Ive been thinking of you today...I know this is a hard day for you.....

big hugs.....

::big hug to you J::

Hugs Sweetie...

((A virtual hug for you))I just know she is still around you every time you walk on the beach, look up to the sky or simply think about her. I am glad I could be there for you when you got the call and especially glad that you were not alone. Anytime. Anyplace. Anywhere. Anything. That's what friends do. You would have done the same. HUGS.....

It is such a hard thing to deal with -- I don't know if time ever "feels" the same without them. *hugs*

Living can be hard sometimes. I don't know what I would do if my mum passed away. I would be devastated. I can only hope that you have peace.
Sending love,
♥Pam

I send you my thoughts of love and comfort and caring today. I hope you are flooded with wonderful memories and can celebrate your mother's life today and during the upcoming holiday season. I can't wholly understand what you are going through but I can imagine it and it must be very hard to not have her in your life anymore. I'm so glad you have good friends close by.

I'm so sorry Janet, this day must have been so hard for you. :(

I have been the lame blog reader (ie, haven't read much at all lately), but I wanted to tell you that I'm thinking of you. *hugs n martinis*

My Condolences Janet, I understand how hard it is to loose someone & especially at this time of year, my Grandmother (who was more like a mother to me) passed away on 12/14 this year, I just returned home from MA for the funeral yesterday & am catching up on blog reading before I go to work for a half day.
