Moms passing
Posted by: Dorothy Stahlnecker on November 9, 2007 at 9:18PM EST
We buried our mom last Friday.  I'm very down, as I think about what has changed in our family.

I'm thinking and wondering about my future as I am 61 mom was 78 and I was convinced she would live to 100. How long does that leave me...?

Now I realize, she was a mom, a friend, grandmother, and great grandmother.  And she was a wonderful lady.  Who we will miss terrible.  When we leave, have we left our family strong and able to go on?  My mom did..now I hope I'm able to do the same. She was a great example of who we should be...

More to come, once my head clears. Today,  I just wanted to share how much  I miss her..  Thanks for reading.

Sue, good luck with your mom. I hope all goes well...and thanks for the kind words. Say everything your thinking to your mom...I wish I had said more things. I somehow was sure I had more time with mom.

Dorothy, I am so sorry for your loss. My grandmother is 104!! Although she isn't totally aware of who I am it is neat that through her, my kids have that sense of heritage. You are younger than your 61 years. I love that you have a website and blog there and here. Stay young and vibrant, Dorothy.

Dorothy, I'm so sorry for your loss. It's never easy to lose a loved one. But there's something even more poignant about losing a parent. I've been thinking about that a lot more lately given my mom's battle with lung cancer. I don't think I'll ever be ready to let her go.
