MY HEART IS STILL LIKE MUSH!

I went to Bible Study today and then to church. Someone approached me and ask how I was doing since my mom passed away. That was all it took. I had to leave. I could not stop crying. I went to the cemetery and her headstone is still not done. I was very disappointed. Maybe next week. I wish I could touch her or smell her one more time. I wish the night she passed away I was right by her side, not minutes or seconds too late. I wish I had gotten in the bed with her in case she was scared...I miss her so much...I miss her calling me on Sundays to come and eat lunch. I miss our trips to the marts, Walmart, Kmart, steinmart and Big lots even though it is not a mart. I miss her keeping me informed about the other half of the Graves family. I just miss her so much it actually hurts on the inside....

I miss MaMa every day. I thought that as the day went by that my heart would start to heal but it's still broken. I love you!

not yet baby. I know you miss her too. We all do..they say there are stages to grieving, I must be stuck in the broken heart stage.

I love the name you have picked out. What about Ellison Ruby? haha or since MaMa was a gem, you can name the baby Opal or diamond or Garnet Westerfield.....trying to make you laugh...love and miss you

I MISS MAMA SO MUCH. SOMETIMES I EVEN FORGET AND THINK ABOUT CALLING HER. ITS STRANGE. SOMETIMES I JUST WISH FOR ONE MORE DAY WITH HER BUT THEN I REMEMBER HOW UNCOMFORTABLE SHE WAS. I WISH SHE COULD BE HERE TO SEE BOBBY JR's BABBY AND JON JON's BABIES! I LOVED HER LIKE A MOTHER AND I MISS HER DEARLY!

My heart breaks for you and your sorrow. There are no special words to say or a time limit as to when the pain will lessen. It will lessen but never go away. We will always miss and hurt for our Mom's who have passed no matter how old we get. Just hang on tight to the memories because no one can ever take those away. Ruby was a wonderful caring compassinate lady and will be missed by many. Just remember that you have your family, use them to help you through this difficult time in your life. They love you and would do anything for you. Remember that I love you and I pray everyday for time to mend your broken heart. We will get together real soon. My foot is getting better. Love you!
