Mama gave up her fight for life on May 07,2008 at 2210. She fought a long hard battle and her lungs just couldn't fight no longer. It was the day before Mother's Day that we had to say our final goodbye. It made for a sad Mother's Day indeed. It is like my world stood still and just don't move as it did before. I know I got to carry on and that she would want that. I know beyond a shadow of doubt that she is in Heaven walking on streets of gold with my daddy now whom she has missed so much for 20 years. Let every day be Mother's and Father's day cause you don't know how long you got.

I am sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose our mom's. I know yesterday I thought a great deal about mine. I don't think there was ever a year I didn't see my mom on mother's day. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you so much. I don't know if Mother's Day will ever be Happy for me again. I got 2 girls and I love them dearly. I have grandchildren and they are my heart. But there is such a void in my life and my heart now. I know that the tears are for me because I KNOW that my Mama is in HEAVEN with Jesus and Daddy and her baby that was still born, but I guess I was just not ready to give her up! That is why God chooses the time not us I guess.

Ah sis, there are two ways to look at that. You're looking at it as though she lost the fight, but in reality she won the battle. She no longer hurts, never again will she know fear, no machines to support her life. She is happy, a greater happiness than she has ever known. I believe it will suffice to say that she now knows true happiness, a happiness which bears no description, for there are no word which describe such. We each have pain of the loss, regrets for things that we didn't do, and words which we never said. She has forgiven all of the, we are the only ones holding on to it. We are trying to hold onto her by holding onto our doubts and fears, and our desire to have her back. She is happy, and she is free.
