I truly appreciate this post you have written - my mother is 5 years breast cancer free and just last month, we had a bit of a scare but thankfully she is okay. These experiences have certainly helped me to appreciate my mother all the more. And by the way, I just called her!

I almost lost her 4 years ago and things have changed so much since then.LvPoohBr2https://www.blogger.com/profile/06670239097161775940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4099483466540742535.post-87916964532939884102008-12-12T08:36:00.000-07:002008-12-12T08:36:00.000-07:00Denise, thank you for sharing this.

I feel blessed that I have you in my life to remind me of what is important. I will say that with my parents living here, we don't talk everyday. But this week I have run into some challenges (including a car accident yesterday - no one hurt) and have found that my mom and dad are the first (after Ken) people that I call. I called my dad yesterday from the accident, called him when the sprinkler broke the day before, called both of them when Sam was having a hard day. Often I am calling them with tears in my voice and I feel like I am fifteen again and having a hard day. No one fills those shoes. Mom and dad are mom and dad and I you are so special for living each moment.ShutUpandRunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06145904735605609951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4099483466540742535.post-63181630406568189872008-12-12T05:50:00.000-07:002008-12-12T05:50:00.000-07:00Oh, Denise.If we could all just wrap our minds aro...Oh, Denise.<BR/><BR/>If we could all just wrap our minds around the concept of viewing <BR/><BR/>obligation/routine/repetition<BR/><BR/>as privilege<BR/><BR/>what a world this would be.<BR/><BR/>So many times in the last 10 years I wished for that Sunday (for me it was Saturday) phone call.<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry for this particular loss that you are feeling.stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070263353485891308noreply@blogger.com
