Mom died 6 years ago

It truly never goes away

Once they’re gone, a part of you is gone

You don’t sit around thinking about it all day

But it can hit you just as powerful years later

Yes, hasn't hit home all the way yet.

Same here.

Thanks all

I appreciate it

Life is a ruff road for all

I envy all of you who have such great memories of your Mothers; but please also understand that not all Mothers are named Theresa.

My own was abusive and I and my siblings still bear both emotional and physical scars to prove it.... and we don't miss her much at all.

As I said above, I'm a little jealous but that's just the way life works out sometimes.

And contary to the cliche', there's a huge difference between forgiving and forgetting. I may do one, but I'll never do the other.
