I do believe, too, that all the good things about me come from my parents who were both very compassionate and kind people. I am so glad you have fond memories of my mother. I remember your sweet mom and dad as well. We were both very blessed to have had the parents we did!Lillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449062457106001834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429303250373977972.post-52439664810879179122008-12-06T21:06:00.000-07:002008-12-06T21:06:00.000-07:00I have been reading your blog, and truly enjoying ...I have been reading your blog, and truly enjoying the wonderful woman that you have become. I know that alot of this is because of your wonderful mother. I remember her as such a kind and caring woman who made everyone feel so loved and important. I was so glad that I was able to see her again at our 10 year high school reunion. She was one of my favorite moms.<BR/><BR/>I was the last person to talk to my dad before he died. I told him that he would be ok and I would make sure that my mom was ok. I squeezed his hand and he passed moments later. Your last conversation with your mom was about love and that is exactly how I see my last moments with my dad. He knew that I would help take care of the one person he was scared to leave...my mom.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for leading me to your blog. It has been both uplifting as well as fun to read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429303250373977972.post-19591303162251526122008-10-30T10:28:00.000-06:002008-10-30T10:28:00.000-06:00Robbyn, sorry to hear of your recent loss.

Someone said to me that maybe she waited for my inlaws to get there, so that I wasn't alone, which makes perfect sense really. It was a very difficult time, but I am so glad I was there with her until the end. Thanks for the compliments on my blog. I am really enjoying yours as well. You are a talented writer.

I, too, had those days and nights beside her bed, listening to the labored breathing, and was honored to be the one there when she died...your words bring that time back to me so poignantly. Thank you, Lilla, for your kind words on my recent post at the collaborative site. Actually, I was pretty much hating what I wrote and had gone back into Wordpress to delete the bulk of it (such as the whole first part, which now to me seems overly silly), but saw your comment. I really appreciate your words of affirmation...you have a wonderful site here, and I really appreciate your taking the time to write what you have...thank you! :)<BR/><BR/>This post is beautiful...so glad you shared itRobbynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860870861321231048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429303250373977972.post-61505595299476622922008-10-21T14:53:00.000-06:002008-10-21T14:53:00.000-06:00Thanks, Rene.Thanks, Rene.Lillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449062457106001834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429303250373977972.post-43575187035314426462008-10-19T23:26:00.000-06:002008-10-19T23:26:00.000-06:00Oh Lilla, I'm so very sorry you lost your Mom at s...Oh Lilla, I'm so very sorry you lost your Mom at such a young age.
