Mama Used to Say (Christian, wife, male, love)

[walkin2e]

"Let bygones be bygones".

This was a great lesson on forgiveness, and realizing that life was too short to hold grudges.

I would love to hear her voice say that again, but Mama died in January 2001 while a resident at Baptist Village Nursing Home...she was 71, and weighed 71 pounds. Sure miss her.

I'm sorry for your loss.

No one who has lost their mother ever really gets over the loss. I mean, we are born from them, they carry us for 9 mths, raise us.. Sorry for your loss. Lost mine at 14 and never really stopped missing her. I'm a Mom now and really love my kids more than life.

I completely understand how you feel!

My favorite aunt, who was more like a mother to me than my own, used to say this:

"Everyone has their own sack of rocks to carry in this life."


Such words of wisdom!

She died suddenly, at the age of sixty-five, in November of 2001.

Yes, it is hard to lose your parents..My Daddy died at the age of 40 in 1966 (I was 14). I was 49 when Mama died. I wrote a story about her.

I'm a 65 year old male and my Mother died when I was 23 and to this day I still miss her...

Sometimes late at night I can see Her standing in the hallway... I've asked my wife if I am crazy and says no that I'm not...

I have seen a few posters on this forum who would do well to adopt this approach.

As my parents get older I think more and more of how I'd manage without them, and it scares me.

Love them while they are here and prepare yourself for life without a safety net.
