Jada,
Sorry for your recent loss of your Mom.

I lost my mom in June but I really lost her over 3 years ago…….she had dementia and brother was controlling her and telling her lies about myself & my family.

She got Covid after a Christmas gathering he had at her home & never came back. She would’ve been 99 this month.

My mom would have turned 96 had she lived to her next birthday. I wonder what age we become in heaven. She married my dad at the age of 21. They were married for almost 56 years. Daddy was eight years older than mom.

I don’t know what age that I would go back to if we are given a choice in the afterlife. Maybe somewhere in my 20’s.

I hope that my mom and dad are young again while in heaven!

Yes CWillie,
Thinking of Luckylu, but I was just getting started!

Honoring your Mom too, on this day, Aug. 3, 2021.

After our parent's have been gone for awhile, I personally feel celebrating their birthdays is a good and comforting thing.

So today, since there are two birthdays, we will celebrate by having German Chocolate cake.

The celebration is as much for you and your Mom as it is for Luckylu!

Happy Birthday to CWillie's Mom!

The world has indeed changed from 102 years ago!

My Dad would have been 113 in July!

CW,

I love what you posted earlier on this thread. I think there are many interesting stories about our family that were never spoken of. Somehow, the stories of these special people become lost. I don’t think we have an appreciation of these things until we get older.

One day when I was lamenting the extra pounds I put on I asked mom whether she thought I should go on a diet or buy bigger pants. She told me to buy bigger pants 🤣🤣
(life is short)

Interested to know if those who have passed imparted special words of wisdom to us, even as we were taking care of them.

Along time friend once said to me: "The problem with you is that you are too smart for your own good."

Still mulling that over, wondering what she really meant.

Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom, grandmother, godmother and mother in law. They are all rejoicing in heaven now.

There is another thread still open that I was trying to find so caregivers could share about missing their loved ones:

"Life after the loss of a loved one".

My family was blessed with a lot of strong women, unfortunately I didn't recognize how unique some of them were until they were gone. I'd love to be able to talk with them as an older woman and equal, which of course couldn't happen back when I was so much younger an less experienced than they were.
