February Call
What a "Welcome to February" I had this morning. At 8:46 am I got a phone call from a number in South Dakota.... The lady was kinda cutting in and out, She was asking for someone, I was asking "who is this" That's when she said "This is Mom" She then proceeded to ask if this was "Gina" I said "no, this is Misty"..she said "who is this?" I said "this is Misty, I think you have the wrong number"....she said "oh, I'm sorry" I said "its ok" and we hung up. Then that's when it HIT... "This is Mom" I lost it. I would never think that some complete stranger calling and saying those mere words would hurt so badly, but they did. They made me miss my Mom even more so. This is the month that she passed away. Its gong to be a tough 19 days, but then it should be a easier round for year two. I know its never going to be the same, and I am ALWAYS going to miss her and there will always be the moments that I wish she was with me.... but life moves forward...and that only means that I will be with her again... just bites that we cant have at least a once a year visit, even if it was a phone call!

That would be very hard. I was just sitting here thinking about 7 mo. ago at this time exactly was when the ambulance pulled into my mom and dads driveway and brought my dad into the house and with in about 1/2 hour he was gone. My dad was very stubburn and he always said that he would not go in the hospital so he fought a good fight and waited till he got home.
I remember stopping by and seeing your mom in the hosptial and I had a very hard time with it. She didnt know that I was there talking to her She had lost so much wieght and I did not see that wonderful smile that was hers. Misty good luck with this month I know that the "first" are hard. Let me know when it gets easier.
