Without my Mother |
 |

Everybody has their favourite childhood memory with their mum. I can remember being about 6 and my mum walking my sister and i to the beach. Once we got there it was so windy that the sand felt like needles on your skin and we didn't want to go in the water anymore, so we turned around and went back home, much to mums annoyance, probably due to the 20 minute walk it took to get there.
As i grew up my mum was my everything, my mother, my best friend, my enemy. She was my whole world. I was really a mummy's girl. She taught me all the valuble lessons that a growing young woman needs. Even thru my very tiresome, exhausting and, i'm sure, downright terrible behaviour, she was my rock. Always trying her best to teach me right from wrong and how an adult should behave. (If you want to be treated as an adult, then act like one)
Back in September 1997, my Mother passed away. She fell asleep and never woke up. The doctors couldn't find anything wrong. No cancer, no heart attack, no diseases. No nothing. So that meant no answers for my sister and I. One doctor refered to her passing as similar to SIDS. She simply forgot to breathe. Still this wasn't comforting at all for us. Even thou she didn't die of something horrible, she was still gone. It took me many years to accept that she was never coming back, and for a long time, i sort of expected her to walk thru the door, or i would see her in the street, someone would be wearing her perfume and i would just burst into tears.
The saying "You dont know what you've got til it's gone" is so true. I wish i had had the opportunity to say goodbye and i would give everything to spend just 1 more day with her, just to hold her and tell her that i love her. To show her my beautiful creation, my son.
So, my advice to you, is treasure every moment you spend with your loved ones because you never know when the last "see ya later" will be. Never turn them away when they want a kiss and a cuddle. Always be there to listen to their stories. Let them know that they are important and respected. Tell them that you care, tell them that you miss them, and tell them that you love them.

Re: Without my Mother
My grandmother died from a heart attack in 1998, she had a mild one and was taken to hospital, she was suppose to be alright, I planned to go and see her the next day, but hours later, he heart exploded while in hospital and she passed away. I never got to say good-bye after I spent every day with her before school, lunch time as she lived 5 mins from the school, and after school and on week-ends. She raised me when my mum worked 2 jobs to put food on the table with my father gone from our family. She never got to meet my 3 young children. My oldest child, Shyler has my grandmothers name: Doreen as her middle name in memory of my grandmother. I miss her heaps and it took me a couple of years to remember that I couldn't go and visit her, even now when I have a huge problem and upset I think about visiting her in her unit, then I remember I can't. She was the nicest woman.
