My heartfelt thanks to each of you for your kind words and prayers.. I am blessed to have had such a wonderful relationship with both my Mom and Dad.. And now Iam so happy they are together..right where I want them to be, stressfree. I remember the final night I had with my Mom, while holding both of her hands..softly speaking from my heart..over 19 hours..The nurses kept coming in saying..what a gift I gave Mom..But, I have to disagree as I feel Mom gave me the best gift ever.. her love.. My love and respect for her will never tarnish nor weaken. Each time the nurses asked if I was okay..I boldly said..yea..this is about Mom right now.. I will collect my pieces later..Well, 'later' is here..and as a dear friend said..some days just placing your feet on the floor is a big deal.. well, each day I think to myself..well, I am up!

God bless both my Mom and Dad and also each of you..For without your genuine words of support and caring, I could not be as forthcoming and positive..

I hope you all have a good day and RSD is is not too harsh on you today..

Much love to all, Kathy

Very sorry for your loss Kathy.

Oh Kathy, I am so sorry for your loss. I am really very inspired by your faith and attitude. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Peace to you my friend, Lisa

I dont know you but my prayers are with you. As you said, shes no longer suffering and with your dad in a much better place than this. I lost my brother and 2 of his children a couple of years ago and it was my knowing theyre in a good place that made it easier for me to deal with. When I get sad, I just close my eyes and remember something they once said or something we did together and smile cuz I know theyre still with me, just not physically.
