nikkala Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Today is 11 years since I lost my dear sweet wonderful mom to this horrible beast known as lung cancer. I was 23 and had a 2 yr old daughter. My daughter has missed out on so much and I still feel so cheated.I am 34 now and asI am approaching her age (which will always be 41 to me) it feels so strange. I have always struggled with trying to see myself live to be older than my own mother and I just can't picture it. I would love to hear if anyone else has ever struggled with this as I feel like I can't even plan for a future. I still miss her sooo much my heart just hurts.

ztweb Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Nikkala, I am so sorry. It is amazing how time goes, and then we do look back and wonder, "What the heck?!" You were cheated, beyond what anyone can understand. I hope God grants you peace through this time, and that you are given answers that you so desparatly need. God bless, Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamasbabygirl Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I do the same thing Lisa. When I save for my retirement, I think I'll never see it. When I try to figure out my age when my kids hit milestones like graduation, marriage, I wonder if I'll still be here. Part of it is knowing the strong LC trait in my family and that other part is living the life I have. I've partied, smoked, drank my fair share. I guess I just try to make every day count bc you never know what the next day has in store... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
