There are so many good comments I could just hug you all

I too rehearsed all the details in my head. Maybe it's a defense that we hope it will make what's coming less painful...I don't know.

When you loose a parent it changes the whole family dynamic. There's a shift in the order of things. What was hardest for me was the potential that was lost. No more memories to be made. And I would get mad because most of my friends still had there parents.

I miss the look in my Mom's eyes that said "I will love you no matter what."

My heart goes out to you
