Spookiesmom
Hi everyone,
I hope it's ok to post this here. It's taken me a long while to get up the courage to post anything. I'm spookiesmom's daughter. I've read a few of your kind comments about her passing both here and in some of the other threads. Today is her birthday, though, so I just kinda wanted to… I don't know…. read some of her words or something. I just miss her. She really loved this organization and especially the people in the discussion forums. You were all her friends and helped her through a lot of really hard times. I hope you all are well.

Qualitycat 24 - Thank you so very much for this. I remember your mom and used to "chat" with her here from time to time. She is definitely missed and many of us remember her. I hope you are doing OK. It's a real hard thing to lose a parent. My mother's been gone 16 years now and I am 71, but I still have a rough time now and then. It does get better though. What happened to Spooky?
Happy Birthday, Spookiesmom!

@quiltycat24 Your mother was one of the people I considered a friend on this forum, someone I wished I had known in real life. We were all lucky to have her in our lives, even just online. Thank you for sharing her with us.

Hi everybody,
Thank you so much, so kind words have meant so much to me. She really was a pretty amazing person. For the person who asked about Spookie, I have her and am taking care of her. She just turned 15 on Halloween. And as for the cat, my son decided he wanted to keep him and is caring for him (our son still lives at home). I think I'm going to be hanging on the forums a little more often now since I just had a follow up ultrasound done, and they found a suspicious spot on me on Monday. I go for a biopsy on December 10, and I should know more with 48 hours of that appointment. Thanks, everyone. I already know how wonderful this group is, thanks to my mom.

Thank you for the update. I hope the results are negative for cancer. Please have a wonderful Thanksgiving. It might be hard not having your mom there. Try to enjoy all the family that will be there

Quiltycat24 - Thanks so much for letting me know that you have Spookie. It's real nice to know she is with someone who loves her. I don't think I knew about the cat, but glad to hear that he also is with your family.
Very sorry to hear about your ultrasound situation and I've got my fingers crossed that all will be well for you. Please keep us posted.
Wishing you and yours a very wonderful Thanksgiving. Your mom will be there too "in her way".

@quiltycat24 When my Dad died shortly before Christmas, he was cremated with plans for a cemetery service when the weather was better. The family still got together for the holiday, with a place setting for him at the table, and we told all our favorite stories about him. We had a gift exchange, which Mom had insisted on, and at the end, she brought out some hooked rug pillows Dad had been working on for us that she'd finished putting together. It was actually a memorable day filled with love, and it felt like Dad wasn't completely gone.

Quilty,
Your mom was one of the first people to welcome me here. We often talked about our furbabies and other things. I miss her dearly.Sorry to hear about the ultrasound and I am sending you positive vibes.
