  1. Tracy,

    My heart goes out to you. I truly admire you for taking the proactive steps to ensure your children have someone to talk to about their emotions. I am sure your daughter understands. I remember asking my mom the what ifs and she would tell me we would cross that bridge when we got to it. My mom and I lived life to the fullest, but we never did talk about the possibility of her passing. For some reason (I am assuming it was my mom's way of protecting me) she never talked to me about it and I have regrets over this. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for great results and remember there are lots of options and successful ones. Hope is the sustaining force.

    All my best to you.

  2. I had numerous voicemail messages from my mom that I saved after I moved. I used my video camera. I held the phone up to the microphone piece of the camera. The sound came out well...then I figure I can transfer the tape at a later point to CD.

  3. Dearest Carleen,

    First I want to send you a big hug. Second, I know no words can make your pain better, only time manages to tape over the wounds. My mom was my best friend, our connection was powerful. I remember when I lost her that I prayed for God to take me too, because I couldn't bear to go on without her. I barely ate, I isolated myself. I was so angry at God, because how could he do this to my mom (make her suffer and not get to cherish the rest of her life). I still have no answers to that. But slowly as the days went by, the tears were replaced by smiles. The heartbreaking memories were replaced with happy ones. I realized in my heart my mom would want me to live to not wallow in sadness. I don't know how I even faced the days, I just did. I look at photos of myself and I used to be vibrant and happy. I now seem to have a worn and distant look. This is from losing my mom.

    I remember no words made it better. But knowing people loved me and cared helped ease the wounds. You have so many people who care. Please know you aren't alone.

    You are in my thoughts.

    Love,

    Andrea

  4. Dearest Carleen,

    My heart is broken for you. I know no words can comfort you. I wish I could take it all away for you. Please know I am sending you my love, care and hugs. I am truly truly sorry. I thought of you each so often, because I could feel your love through your words. I wish I could do more.

  5. Carleen, I am so sorry you and Keith have to go through this. Life seems so unfair at times. I wish I could wipe away your pain. I continue to keep you and Keith in my prayers. I am sending you a hug and please know you are never alone.

  6. Hi Laurel,

    I am so sorry you have to walk this path. My mom passed away in April 2004. I lived in Seattle (go back and visit often now) and am now in Leavenworth, WA. But I would be happy to be support for you. Send me a Private Message anytime.

    Take care of yourself,

    Andrea B.

  7. Our new daughter, Addison Marie, arrived on April 19. All went smoothly and I can't help but think my mom was watching over us, as she does everyday. My avatar is a new photo of her and big sister, Isadora.

    Thank you to all for the well wishes!

  8. I am due in the next week or so with my second baby, so I won't be around for a little bit. So this means bracelet orders might be a bit behind, if you contact me in the meantime. :wink: And wouldn't it be ironic if this little one were to be born on April 11 (the day of my mom's passing). Wishing everyone my best.
