Ok I have to add something else here....My grandma, my dad's mom, passed away on December 1,2001. I was really close with her like I was with my dad.

I feel like my dad had to die so my daughter could be born and he is up there watching over her, like he is her guardian angel.(Ok I just started to get super emotional, crying and such, so I will stop here,) Hugs to everyone that has lost anyone they loved from a family member to friend.

My dad was killed when i was 8 months pregnant with my first child, and i feel the same way. Right after his memorial i was in Target looking at baby books and i felt someone blow on my neck, and there was noone there and no air vents it just came out of nowhere. I hate that my son will never get to meet his grandpa, but i guess things happen for a reason, and i know he watches over us, i just wish he was here to be with us

December is a rough month all around it looks like.

I lost my mom (COPD/Congestive Heart Failure) on December 23, 2001. She had just turned 55 on Dec 7th.

I still miss her every day. There really isn't a day that passes that I don't have a moment where I say, "I wish I could tell mom" or "I miss my mom".

I lost my Dad just this past Oct. 26th. If I could just have one more time to tell him I love him. I LOVE you Dad and Miss You!

I lost my mom the day after Mother's Day 11 years ago this coming MD, she was the glue that held all of us kids together and organized all the family gatherings so she's missed every holiday. My kids lost their DD and DSM in a car wreck 3 years ago in October and then their beloved grandfather (DD's dad) on December 27th of the same year. The holidays have been really hard on them. This year DS 21 is in court ordered rehab for alchohol abuse (couldn't follow probation rules, when will they learn?) so we weren't able to spend today with him. The good part is that he is doing so well and in such a better place emotionally right now AND he gets to come home for a short visit at Christmas! We didn't do much today, but we are putting on the sparkles next month!

My mom died suddenly from a drug overdose on December 21st. Big shock. Had no idea she was even doing drugs. I know I haven't shared that on HCW yet. I posted at that time that I didn't know why she died. I didn't until the toxicology reports came back. I had a really normal upbringing and for that I am thankful. She was only 47.

OMG..I thought I was reading my own post..but it hit me that I never said how my mom died..very very sad how our mothers died the same exact way..I thought my mom died of a heart attack until the coroner told me she died from a overdose of methodone sp?..I didn't know my mom did drugs...(((HUGS)))
