Oh Melissa.

I am so, so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain you and your family are going through. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks to come.
 
Melissa;

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
 
Melissa,

I am so sorry for your loss, my dad died almost 8 years ago. My DS was born on his birthday and my dad died 10 days before my DS second birthday.

My mom has been having health problems she also has COPD and she has been having problems breathing and has been using oxygen 24 hours aday for the last few weeks.

I loved the fact that my DS and dad had the same birthday but after my dad died it's a hard time of year for me but also a happy one.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
 
Melissa, I am so sorry for your loss. I know that those words don't make it any easier. Please try to keep her memories alive for your little one. May God bless you in your upcoming delivery. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
 
Very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family. I lost my mom 11 years ago my twins were only 3 months old. It was a very difficult time, reach out for support and remember that others are there to help you through this time.
 
Oh Melissa, I so feel for you!! :( I lost my mom in the spring, and like you say, you are never ready to lose your mom. My prayers are with you.

((((HUGS))))
 
Oh, Melissa, I"m so sorry to hear that. ((((HUGS)))) I hope you can enjoy the memories you do have with her while you welcome the new addition to your family. Take care of yourself!

Thanks again to everyone for your prayers and words of support. :) In addition to having a baby to help take my mind off of it. I am really trying to work my business to keep me going.
 
Melissa, someone said to me when my Mom died years ago, that when you lose your Mom, it doesn't matter how old you are, but you still feel like a lost little girl. You are in my thoughts. Know that you are not alone, and that your Mom is still with you, even though you can't see her anymore.
