I love the way you can talk about things so openly--it is SO healthy--even though it really hurts. I miss your mom too though I only met her once for a few minutes I feel like I know her so well through you and the blog she used to write. I have really been praying for you and your family. I pray that you WILL have some sweet moments with her before saying goodbye to fill some of that intense ache. I wish I could hug you right now.The Checks Mixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230360572283226914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36493012.post-54283511505925068712008-09-11T14:25:00.000-06:002008-09-11T14:25:00.000-06:00April - you are so inspiring - I too am crying whi...April - you are so inspiring - I too am crying while reading this. It makes my heart ache for you. This week has also been a really tough one for me. Lots of contention in my home. As I read your words I am sure that my own children would never say all these nice things about me (I've been a bear). I want to be the kind of mom your mom has been to you. I can only imagine the highs and lows that you have as the days tick by. Please know that you have inspired me to try and be a better more patient mom to my own children. Someday - I can only hope I have this same wonderful relationship with my own kids!

Someday when I am going through the same thing I will be calling you. I hope that you can at least have a few more "mom moments."Marnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16510374117604167816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36493012.post-5491462532801938342008-09-11T01:19:00.000-06:002008-09-11T01:19:00.000-06:00My heart goes out to you and your family April... ...My heart goes out to you and your family April... I'm so sorry for the way life must ache for you as you see your mom fading...<BR/>I also remember her contagious laugh. I remember going to your house on Sunday mornings way back in good ol' 17th ward when my mom convinced me to be in choir with her, and practice was at your house in the mornings before church. I remember how cheerful your mom always was, what a great personality she had, and I still remember the sound of her voice singing...I remember how she would smile at me in the halls at church when my family fell apart and I felt like a ward outcast...and when we lost Jarom I remember her coming over with a meal and a wonderful painting she had made for our family, and sharing her love for us during that time...What a sweet and special lady...<BR/>It is so wonderful to have the gospel and to know we will get to see those we love so much again...Sometimes I wish I could have the perspective of time that the Lord has though...the way years here are mere moments there. It would certainly help the wait to be more bearable to think of seeing those we've lost, sharing talks and hugs again in just a few minutes...Stephanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297327302552455795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36493012.post-28138769569485424962008-09-10T23:16:00.000-06:002008-09-10T23:16:00.000-06:00I'm so sorry, April!

I don't think that anymore. I can see that it's soooo hard to say "goodbye" and to watch goodbye. I wish I could get her back for you--for at least one good phone conversation.Joellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14481014258858903891noreply@blogger.com
