well my mother passed away march 7 2007. which now its comin up on a year and i am definatly not lookin foward to this day at all. she passed away due to a number of things i think. no one is really for sure cause she died alone at my house when i was suppose to be home watchin american idol with her but instead i was out doin whut i do best. drinkin. she had emphazema really bad and everyone tried to convince her to stop smoking but her being hard headed never listined. i know that she also had pnuemonia at the same time she passed. i know its not right to think that its my fault that she passed cause i know its inevitable but i cant help it. i should have been home that night. there are several things that i regret more than nething in this entire world. my whole life me and my mother were best friends, and at the time of her death me and her were in a huge fight and i didnt even talk to her that day. i hate that feelin. everyday i think i about it. and the way she died. me and my girlfriend at the time came home to find her just layin on floor. all alone.that site forever haunts me everytime i close my eyes and everytime i lay down to go to sleep.at some point in everyday that passes i feel so alone and lost. i miss my best friend. and yesterday being valentines really messed my head up cause i always bought her a different colored poodle stuffed animal cause she loved them so much and this year i didnt get to buy one and that bothers me horribly. i am good at hidin the way i feel about this on the outside to everyeone but on the inside it eats me up inside.

" Awwww Meggie, U know I know how bad u feel. It's not your fault, but I know if it was me I would be feeling the same way. Vam knew how much u loved her. She always told me u were her coolest kid. She loved all of u, but I know u were her fav. hehe Try not to beat yourself up about the what ifs. Let's do something special on her anniversary date. Lets let balloons go ((purple ones) or do something to remember her by. I luv u and am always here for u....and yes I read this before u left my house and didnt cry...I miss her more than u know too.

" Holidays are always hard on those who have lost a loved one. I used to buy my Mom candy & floers on 2/14; this was the first year that I did not. I read somewhere that on a Special Day if you donate a gift you would have gotten your loved one to a retirement home or some such place, that you will feel better inside, I heard. I AM SO SORRY THAT IT HURTS SO MUCH. You take care now. "

" I am so sorry for your loss, and for your pain. I am sure your dear Mom knew how much you loved her; you were best friends, she knew! Don't beat yourself up about not being there when she passed, because I believe there is a reason for that. I think your Mom did not want you to see her when she passed, or she would have waited for you to come home. She probably wanted to spare you the pain, and thought you couldn't handle it. . Just try to remember the good times, and how much you loved eachother, and focus on that, and not the sad things, because your Mom would not want that, and you know it.
I miss my Mom more than I can put in words, so my heart truly does go out to you.
((((Hugs))))
