For those that are on my MySpace, you may have noticed my Message said I was mourning the loss of my Foster son and my mom.

It has been an awful last few months. In December, my Aunt Jan passed away from Cancer. In January, one of my foster sons died at the age of 19, of Asthma. He had moved in with his sister, as my Foster Daughter was pregnant and a terror to deal with. His sister found him, one mornig when he didn't get up for school, laying there in his bed, blue and the inhaler on the ground.

My mother passed away Feb 10, of a massive heart attack, that really was unexpected, at the age of 71. That one sent me into a tailspin of which I can't say I am out of yet. I talked to her every day of my life, as I walked to work, on my 2 breaks, and as I walked to, then back, from lunch on the days I worked. And then repeatedly during the days I had off.

I still go to call her, whenever I am upset, or see something on tv, or any number of other reason I would call for the hell of it. I am so not handling it well. I stayed in my room ( save going to piddle ) for over 5 weeks. Ended up living on water and store brand strawberry ensure cause I could not eat.

Then shortly after, my computer went poof. And my laptop that I am typing on, is a T-Rex comp, and can't support much of anything. I am just starting to come to terms with things. It took me awhile to find this site again. I was panicking at first. But here you all are. I missed this place.

On a positive note: my foster daughter had a baby girl 4/22/08: Kaytin Marie ( Marie for my mom ) and the child was due on 4/20... my joke is, eh, her mom is a pothead, so therefore the child is... and like most, she was late, arrived on HER time, not ON time!!

Cherish your loved ones, life really is shorter than we know.
Love, Light and a tear or a 100.

Of all the words, of tongue or pen, the saddest, are these: "what might have been".

Nice to have you back again. But sad to hear of your losses.
I guess the positive note you finish on encompasses your footline quote: You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it... :D

:hug: thank you, I meant to at least say bye for a bit, but my comp decided it wanted to go :)

Here's to, Life. Mom may no longer be on this earth, but her spirit lives on. Mostly when I start feeling sorry for myself, I can * hear* her! Oh and when I see a cute guy, I should not be checking out, lol.
