Thank you for sharing that story. I'm glad your sister was wise enough and kind enough to send your mom's keychain to you. I'm sure you'll be a great leader and help many people who are just like your mom.

You know you've already helped me. I never would have joined Weight Watchers if it weren't for a couple people I "know" - either in real life or

Oh, what a story about your Mom. I wish my Mom could have had that. I think she loved my Dad throughout their marriage, but he really didn't make her very happy. They were just not well suited to one another. How wonderful that your Mom found such happiness in her last years. I think you're right about it being a choice. I think I'll get there, but like you said, I'm still sorting

You have no idea how many times your words have brought me comfort, laughter, tears, enlightenment.... I'm happy to have brought you a sliver of comfort in the form of empathy. Your life and mine are remarkably similar...and the tragedy of our mothers' departures is no exception. My parents struggled through their marriage (no fighting, just an ocean of deep silent resentment) but

GK, I would like to hear your story. I don't mind you sharing it here, but if you're not comfortable with that, I hope you will share it somewhere. As I told Dyann, hearing from other women who have lost their Mothers really helps.

Dyann...your words mean more than you know. You've always been so kind and so honest in sharing your thoughts and feelings. I appreciate everyone's comments, but knowing that someone else who has lost their mother can identify with something I'm feeling really makes me feel less alone. Thank you.

All the time I am conflicted by my motivation to please/honor my late mother and my disappointment that I'll never have the chance to see the pride on her face. It's a bitter pill.... I know it's no consolation, but I'm certain what would bring your mom the most joy is knowing you are sustained by the ability to be proud of yourself. I tell my kids all the time that I'm

Sitting here with tears running down my face for you...

I have a missing-mom story for you too, but will not post it here, because I don't want to take away from your wonderful words.

Many hugs to you, Christina.
