Hugs needed

today is my Mom's birthday...

she would have been 59 today....

i lost her suddenly 3 years ago last month.... quite frankly i try to ignore her birthday because it's really just far more than i can bare...... but today i got the sweetest email from my Father about how he and my mother met.... and how they married and what not.... it was a very special email.... my parents divorced when i was only 5, so i don't know their "story"....

but now, instead of being able to ignore the day, i'm in complete meltdown mode.

and of course dh left this morning on a biz trip, so it's me and the kiddos (who are driving each other up the wall today!)......

i could just use an extra hug if you can spare one.....

hug those you love EVERY day cuz you just never know when they won't be there to hug.....................

xooxoxooxox
 
Jeez, I didn't even read the email and I started bawling. How nice of your father. Sending hugs!
 
So sorry to hear that Lauren. I say turn a movie on for the kids and have a good cry- sometimes it feels better to let it out than trying to keep it in. :(

Sending hugs your way!
 
awww Im sorry!! I know how hard those anniversaries and birthdays can be. Just let yourself cry if you need to. It wont make it go away but it helps to ease some of the pain from missing them I think
 
Oh, Lauren. I'm so sorry. I can't imagine what it must be like to lose your mother. My heart is breaking for you right now.

I say pull out some old photos of your mom and just have a good cry. The best thing we can do for our lost loved ones is remember...the good times and bad, the fun times and not-so-fun.

Hugs to you, girl!!
 
Oh Honey I'll be praying for you today. It's so hard to lose a parent ... I think of my daddy every day. {{HUGS}}
 
Aww Lauren...I have lots of extra hugs for you today. {{hugs}}
I can't even imagine how you must feel.
 
((((hugs)))) I lost my mom YEARS ago and the old cliche about getting easier over time..I mean the hurt does heal eventually but we'll never stop missing them.

Go out and do something today with the kids that your mom would enjoy! Go to a fave restraunt or something for lunch or rent a movie (kid friendly of course) that she'd love! Make the day special in her memory

(I didn't read the other replies..sorry if I repeated another suggestion)
 
thank you so much........... i appreciate the love.............

my son josh said, "well we could bring flowers to a graveyard, but there aren't any graveyards around here... and they're creepy anyway...." hahahah

omg thank goodness for kids, huh?!

I know you are sad - but what a gift that email is! Big hugs to you - I'm sorry you are hurting.
 
I'm so sorry your heart is aching today, Lauren. Sending {{{hugs}}} to you. A suggestion, since your dad's email meant so much to you, do a layout with the text he sent you. You don't even need to post it in the gallery. Just do it for you and then you'll always have that keepsake. Just an idea...
 
(((Lauren))) Embrace the pain and loss - it, too, is a celebration of the joy she brought to your life. You sure have a precious gift from (and in) your Dad.
