I lost both parents within a year. A part of your heart is gone, as is some of your past. But memories aren't.

When you're having " a moment".... Look up, smile and know someone is looking over you..still. You know if you're upset, it would upset her... So try to put on the brave face...vow to make her proud. It's what she would want, and it will make you stronger.

Remember, she is in a better place.. It's the ones that are left behind who suffer with the loss.

Now that she can see again, remember... Mom is watching. It may not be a bad way to go on. I'm still a putz, but I try..... For them.

Although its cliche, time does heal. Eventually, the depression gives way to smiles.
