    It's nice to have those memories. I wish my mom had gotten to see my children. My DS doesn't remember her. My DD does, but she was only 5 when she passed.

    hmmmm, slow math skills but mom would have been 98 if she were still around, I have nice memories of her and she did get to see her grand kids, but some were too young for them to remember her

    hahaha...I know what you mean. I'm counting on my fingers to figure out hold old mine would have been. She was born in 1923. If I did it right, she would be 92. I would be so thrilled just to live until I'm 60!!

    all I did besides the laundry was made dinner. Might get the gumption up in a bit to unload and start to reload the dishwasher. It was just so dang hot!

    mommy, rumor from the weather geeks that this heat wave is due to break mid week? hoping so as not doing a silly thing.

    went to gym, swam my laps and came home to the sofa, oh yeah, swept the floor

    I'm sorry Lucy. It's so difficult to lose our Moms. The selfish side of me often wished my mom could have been around for all of my diseases. But then when I think about it, it's so much better for her that she didn't have to see it all. She would have been a nervous wreck. I'm glad she didn't have to go through that worry.

    Slow.. Yes.. No matter how old we are if we are hurting we still need our Mums and Dads.. So I know what you mean.. When I was at the hospital waiting to go into surgery for my mascetomy I was sitting there thinking about my parents, and my sister text me and said "I am sure you're aware that two very special are looking down, and looking after you ".. It made me cry then, and making me tear up now rembering it !! Your Mum is looking down over you as well...

    Lucy, that was a great thing for your sister to text to you, it is a thought to keep in mind always

    I have the same situation with my late sister's daughter and two sons. I vowed to them from the day my sister passed away to the day I die, I will always be there for them. We keep in touch through Facebook and on the days that were special to my sister and her kids, I always remind them that their mother is looking down from Heaven and is proud of them. They even come to me for advice. I've told them that I can never take my sister's place in their life, but an auntie's advice is just as good.

    Lucy, I agree. I hear her words often as well as my Dads. I don't think they ever really leave us.

    M0mmy, You're a good Aunt. They are lucky to have you!!

    Just wanted to let you all know Tomboy and I started another thread. Here is the link:

    I know many people we loved have left the boards, so we thought it would be fun to start a new one. You are all welcome!!

    Hey Mommy, you never sent us a picture of the gold walls? How did that work out?

    Blondie, R U back from vacation? give us the low down.

    I love fresh sheets, hung outside to dry, crisp, beautiful white sheets, I imagine I am in a bed and breakfast in Maine or some place lovely when my sheets are fresh, and than the cat jumps up and....................the smell is all gone.

    My mother died when I was 9, of course from cancer, however, back than I am not sure of the type.

    She was a nurse and despite what must have been tough days, she died at home with just my father while my siblings and I were at church. I believe now, as a nurse, she knew going to a hospital was futile and not good. Back when she died they did not let kids in the rooms, so I remember being hoisted through windows by nuns to visit my mother. She still inspires me to say f------- the hospitals. Home is much more healing!

    I agree Kathy. There is no place like home. So young to lose your mom. i guess there many of us that no longer have their moms.

    They are still in progress. Every time hubby gets a chance to paint, its either too hot, rains or something comes up. He's planning on painting this weekend. He has to prime the walls before he can it the final color.

    Kathy.. So sorry you lost your Mum.. and at such an early age..I think it is lovely that she could go in her own home though... I hate cancer.!!

    Mommy.. Looking forward to seeing the room when you finish.. You know, my hubby always tries to use the weather as an excuse as to why he can't paint...and I try to bully him into doing it regardless.. But he always wins.!!

    Hi all

    Sitting in bed with two cats. Have been here since Thursday with a very severe bronchial infection. I am full of drugs but still feeling dreadful. Probably should have seen a doc last night as I could hardly breathe for about two hours. When DH gets back from Church I will get up and have a shower. Sorry to go on but I am sick of this.

    Allyson,

    How are you doing?

    the cars really help. I have two also, one is a comfort, the other is just there, but she tries in her own way.

    I meant to say cats no cars. Cats are a help. cars are a pain.

    One thing that still bugs me to no end that people are saying about my having the surgery and the implants is that I did it for my hubby. I feel like standing in the middle of everyone who says that to him and shouting  "No!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't because of him that I had it done, I did it for me!!!!!!!!!!!!"

    Hey mommy 2,

    I am done with chemo, and implants would be the next possible step.

    Was it easier than the mastectomy?

    Much easier! Once I got the implants, I finally started feeling like I was a normal person again
