Thank you, both. My mother cried last night but said she will survive it because she has survived so much already. She says she just wants to hold her and tell her she loves her. Broke my heart. Another sister and I are taking my mom to see our sick sister on Saturday. She lives in another state, but it's only a few hours away.

I met my husband just two weeks after losing my Dad. I met him on my Dad's birthday. Although my husband never met my Dad, he feels as though he had known him. He once heard somebody make a comment and he looked at me and said, "that's sounds like something your Dad would say!" He laughed when I reminded him that he hadn't met him.

Four years later, we married on my Dad's birthday. I know that my Mom would get up in the morning and say, "this would have been his XX birthday," followed shortly by a happy, "I better call the kids to wish them a Happy Anniversary!"

She is dealing with dementia now. She sometimes asked where Dad is and we have to remind her that he passed away, otherwise she believes that he left her.

She doesn't always recognize me, but she always recognizes my husband and is overjoyed to see him.. That's when I realize that I married someone very much like my Dad.

MQ very caring of you and your sister to take your Mom to see her daughter, your sister.

4th of July, marked the 5 month DH went home to Heaven; wonder if I always remember the 4th.
Forunately? my birthday was the 5th the following month. To celebrate, invited two dear friend, cooked
chicken entree. Friends brought flowers and cupcakes. We all had a wonderful time of fellowship.

Interesting what one misses, housework, cooking for more than one------------
