Dear Carrieann,
I feel your pain. This is so heart breaking. I lost my best friend and mom, June 29, 2009. She was also 64 years young. My story is just like yours, I was with her to the end. I still can’t belive she is gone. We lived an hour apart, however I worked in her store, with her daily. If I was home or it was the weekend we would talk on the phone. She so loved my husband and her grandchildren, we would take vacations together three times a year or more. Now I go to work without her. I just keep telling myself, she is with me and our wonderful family. I know I will see her in heaven, I just wish it didn’t seem so far away. I try to stay positive, my children need me, and so does my husband. I’m 42. I see that jmoneypenny’s mom was the same age ours, and we are all early 40’s. Wow, I keep reading how this cancer is so rare however, there seems to be a lot of us going through the same thing. God Bless you and your family. We all need to stay strong and be thankful for everything our mom’s gave us.
