Mysurrogate Mothers died this morning

She's had liver issues for a LONG time, I guess in September she finally went into liver failure. She's been on meds since then to slow it down and was told not to expect to live another whole year. They never said anything to anyone because they didn't want to worry us. I guess this morning was unexpected by all including them.

I loved this woman like a mother, She took care of me so many times when my own mother didn't and now she is gone. I wanted to take the kids out this summer or even possibly for Spring Break to see Dad & Vivian and also go to visit them and that's gone. I was honestly going to call her this weekend and now I can't.It's too late : (

I'm almost mad at her, She didn't say anything. I know she didn't want to worry us but still ............ now she is gone, one of the few women I could truly count on, call mom, love with all my heart, she's just gone

Life is precious, Life is a gift, Those who love you & you love in return are precious. I know she knew how much I loved her but that doesn't take my pain. Take a moment today to appreciate, to tell those you love how much you love them. This is the 2nd time life is yelling at me that time can run out, that time does run out and so much is left undone, unsaid and there is no going back.

Danielle, I'm so sorry. Try to take comfort that you had this wonderful woman to love and that she knew how much she meant in your life. And thank you for reminding us all to take the time for those we love and care about.

My Condolences,

Thank you Keitha.

I take heart in the fact that despite all of the hard times in my life with my family I always had surrogate parents to love me and care for me in ways my mom just wasn't capable of at the time. My biggest support system may not be blood related but that makes no difference, In fact it makes me feel that much more blessed. I'm a very lucky woman and for many years I was so blessed to have this woman in my life, I will take with me all that she taught me and all of the love that she shared with me.

Hugs
Danielle

Thank you Jennifer. I didn't know what to say to Dad, It was just so hard, shock is what I'm feeling. I've had some emotional moments. I did a journal entry and then I wrote a letter to Mom in there. I suppose it's a form of closeure for me.

Thank you Judy. You're support, All of you, Means a lot to me. I'm sad & numb at the same time. Xanax has been my friend today, I just couldn't deal with this on my own since dh is working today and longer than normal hours to boot.
