I'm glad you got to meet my mom, and remind me of how blessed I am to have her here. You are doing a great job being a Mommy, and yours would be proud! I hope you find peace and the closure you seek.

If my story can, in ANY way, sh...@Sugar: Thank you. If my story can, in ANY way, shape or form, help someone else avoid making a tragic decision like this, or help to change a long-time habit that is STILL ever-present in our society, then I am happy to share it, and have others share it, as well. <br /><br />As parents, it is our DUTY to protect our children. <br /><br />Unfortunately, my mother paid for her "young and stupid" mistake with her life. Thankfully, my brother and I lived, but we've also paid for her poor choice, in not having her in our lives. I'm not saying she was at fault, clearly, the driver is at ultimate fault, but she CHOSE to get in the car, and she CHOSE to put US in the car. <br /><br />@X: Thank you for your kind words, and for sharing! I want to say I am glad that I have found someone who identifies with me, but honestly, it really saddens me to know that you understand. It means that you have gone through all of the same agonizing pains of loss and emptiness that I have, and these feelings are ones I would never wish upon my worst enemy. <br /><br />Like you, I have a constant fear of not being here for my kids. Of something taking me from them too soon, and them suffering the way I have. I try to push it out of my head, but sometimes it tends to get the better of me. <br /><br />You can contact me via my Contact page on my website, and it will go directly to my email. If you ever need an ear, I have two of them, and they work amazingly well, and are attached to a very caring heart.Mommy to ♥Pickle and SugarPlum♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/10073003037981387214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050147606732881217.post-53123899263647806322010-06-07T13:41:22.932-07:002010-06-07T13:41:22.932-07:00My mom died when I was three and i have to tell yo...My mom died when I was three and i have to tell you, I have never read anything that I could identify so closely with before. My family is the SAME EXACT way about refusing to tell me anything of value. At least i have 3 years of memories (which are basically nothing). I can't imagine having truly nothing. <br /><br /><br />Personally I have a hard time with my own daughter because I don't know what's normal and what's not, or if i need advice I have nowhere to turn to. At night I lie away terrified that I won't get to see my own daughter grow up. It's consuming. <br /><br />I'm so sorry for your loss, and I hope someday you can get the closure you need to finally start healing.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01752367627252006757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050147606732881217.post-68400679998547498192010-06-07T13:37:01.864-07:002010-06-07T13:37:01.864-07:00Lady, I am so sorry.

I have to say that the change in you over the past few months is incredible, and I don't just mean the weight loss and all of your new healthy habits. You are stronger inside and out and it comes out in so many wonderful ways. I'm happy for you - keep loving yourself the way you have been ;)Banteringblondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847077574352295035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050147606732881217.post-80254715184426243942009-12-11T15:20:48.011-08:002009-12-11T15:20:48.011-08:00I want to say thank you to all of you lovely ladie...I want to say thank you to all of you lovely ladies who have left me comment love. This WAS a very hard thing for me to post...I went back and forth before finally hitting "Publish", but I am so glad that I did. <br /><br />Becky: I hope that either my Dad or Grandpa will write something, or record something, as well, but I'm not holding my breath.<br /><br />Tonya: Thanks for the compliments on my new blog look! I am very excited about the changes, as well!<br /><br />**Note: If you have been following my blog in the past, via the cool little FOLLOW gadget on the sidebar, please go sign up again, as the widget is a newer one, and I believe the settings were lost when that change was made.
