Dad died in his sleep while we were down in Cornwall on holiday, but on that very long, and lonely drive back to the back of beyond I could feel his company saying it would be alright. Only afterwards, a year later when I looked at the photos I realise how old he had become and tired. He had his wish though, to die quietly and quickly and that thought helped me through the days afterwards. He was only 71 when he died, far too young to have left me, but he so missed mum and despite our closeness nothing made up for his loneliness. It is so hard to lose a loved parent, or even both, but comforting to know they didn't suffer xxSagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005047450040559399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923347451717626296.post-51662094156307993812011-04-04T19:32:01.087+01:002011-04-04T19:32:01.087+01:00Your blog post just gave me goosebumps, what a lov...Your blog post just gave me goosebumps, what a lovely touching story.

A mother's love can form a very deep attachment and really has such an influence on our lives. The photo of your mum and the cake with all those candles is truly wonderful. I can picture something like that on a table, but bringing it right to her must have been very memorable. Sounds like the two of you had a special loving relationship.Glohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09532995590131801962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923347451717626296.post-63390917898262155882011-04-03T23:24:26.891+01:002011-04-03T23:24:26.891+01:00Your memories and the love you express bring tears...Your memories and the love you express bring tears to my eyes, Denise.Hildredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420791064923078834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923347451717626296.post-22926200055174756572011-04-03T22:43:06.585+01:002011-04-03T22:43:06.585+01:00Thankyou everybody! xxThankyou everybody! xxmrsnesbitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882736507772457598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923347451717626296.post-76406177874804014132011-04-03T19:15:33.779+01:002011-04-03T19:15:33.779+01:00My thoughts are with you today, Denise, as you rem...My thoughts are with you today, Denise, as you remember your mother. I, too, was at school when I received a phone call that my Mom was in the hospital and as I stood, frightened, I started to faint. The principal took me into his office and I recovered enough to go see Mom. She did come out of that fright, but it was only a few weeks later when I went to visit her (still in hospital) before going to school, the nurses told me they'd been trying to reach me. I stayed all day and into the night when she finally passed away. One never forgets but eventually we can go on and remember all the good times and the love our mothers gave us. I've already given my 2 daughters letters that tell them how much they mean to me - I gave the letters to them on a Mother's Day when they took me out for high tea. Instead of taking from them, I gave each of them a gift and the letter - I hope it means as much to them as that day meant to me. Then, the other day when my 7-year-old GS was staying with me, I showed him the photo of his Great Grandma who had gone to heaven before he was born. He told me I look like her! The best compliment ever! Sending hugs across the pond! {{{you}}}Leslie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/11964698251137788839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923347451717626296.post-84384578170376811172011-04-03T18:35:13.152+01:002011-04-03T18:35:13.152+01:00We have to remember with smiles, Denise - it is pa...We have to remember with smiles, Denise - it is part of the cycle of life and death and we can do nothing else. What we can do though is to love and cherish them while they are here and to love and cherish the memories they leave behind - that is their legacy.
