I hadn't seen this thread. Thank you everyone. I appreciate your kind words, thoughts, and prayers.
I had to pick Mom up from the funeral home today. Brutal.
i think few people know and understand just what you have both been through and sacrificed over the past 4-5 years.
I have watched you give and give and give and never ask anything in return. calling you a friend is a privalige we should all know and cherish. your concern and love is always heartfelt and unconditional. i feel you to be more capable of unconditional love than anyone I have ever known.
Sweetie you have hundreds, thousands of friends. i wish just once in your life you not to be afraid to lean against us either. For most of us, we would be honored to be of any help we are capable of.
There is a community here of misfits, social outcasts, and often, very hard people. Still in it's weird way, a family. Despite what you have grown to learn and feel, this family adores you. This family wants to help.
You are a vital member in this sub-culture and very often the calming affect on the storm. lean back against us, we love you!!

Thank you everyone, and thank you Lewis. AZB is now my only family. It was just Mom and I left. I do have many many great friends who are trying to help me and for that I am very appreciative of their kindness, offers to help, and the kind, loving, sincere words I see on AZB and texts and messages to me.
Mom had advanced emphysema and her and I lived together for the last 4 years because my Dad passed then. She struggled to breathe well the last 3 years, but that declined the last 8 months. But on Tue she fell at the house, Wed she had a successful hip replacement surgery, but on Thursday she had complications, and on Friday the docs told me her body was shutting down. By 4pm Friday I moved her to hospice and she passed with me by her side at 945pm.
She never wanted to pass in a hospital and talked about hospice a lot. As hard as it was, I gave her all her final wishes.
But I miss her. My only solace is she is no longer suffering and can breathe beautifully in Heaven. She's no longer suffering, but I currently am.
God Bless you, Trig. Our hearts go out to you.
I hadn't seen this thread.
No one ever sees Juice's thread cause he is a ninja. Hope you are ok and as said before could not imagine what you are going through cause I knew how much she meant to you. Take care!
My friends held a Celebration of Life for my Mom and I on August 28th and I wrote a "speech" so I could share some wonderful memories about my Mom: http://personallymeonline.blogspot.com/2011/08/speech-for-my-mom.html
Thank you for letting me share and express the love for my Mom!

Very touching, emotional, and a great tribute to your best friend. It must be very special to have a loving mother.
Still being a newbie to forum, I'm still going to extend my deepest condolences to you.:smile:

Although I dont know you personally my heart goes out to you. I'm very sorry to hear of your loss.
thanks for sharing. I'm very glad that your life has been one, with a close relationship with your parents. I know how important it is to allow your mother to have her wishes near the end. I am not far from making those difficult decisions myself. In one hand you want them to be protected and cared for properly, on the other, they want to be in their home. My mom knows that her kids will respect that and will fight for that to happen.
Stay strong, my dear.:smile:
That was beautiful, Melinda. Very, very nice.
Hold your head up, and smile. You and your mom both deserve it.
Thank you so much, Guys! Means a lot to me that anyone would read my speech about my Mom.
I heard I made everyone in attendance laugh and cry - so I figured my speech was a success b/c they heard how much I miss her and also found out about the fun times Mom and I had.
I honestly don't know how I read it out loud without passing out from emotion.

Not to worry
One day you'll be togeather again. So don't fret, live your life in her honor and keep her in your heart. Trust the big man upstairs, he knows what he's doing! He has not let me down yet! Everything will be ok, so don't you worry! :thumbup:

Thanks for sharing your speech! That was beautiful!
Nothing can ever be said to fully heal you of your loss. Only time, love and memories will do that. You will miss her forever. Sometimes more than others, but the wonderful memories that you shared together will keep her alive in your heart.
I'm sure that she had one final wish, and that was for you to live your life and be happy. In time you'll find your smile again. I hope I can bring that smile out someday in conversation. For now, this will be my only venue to try to achieve this, but you have a huge support group here at AZ and we are here for you.
God Bless!
