My mother left August 1st, 2006. She passed in her sleep. Not sick, I had talked to her the day before and was going to pick her up for girl things. Then the phone call come. I was momma's baby and I was devastated (still am) I am a grown woman (nearly 40) and I still cry at a moments notice.I wasn't ready. I didn't get to tell her all the stuff I wish had. I guess in my mind she would be around forever. I feel betrayed-she left me and she promised she would always be around. I know that's not possible, but I still feel betrayed. I have moved near the ocean. The water was always moms favorite, and it helps to see it. I think about her. My brothers (& my dad-they were divorced most of my life) see me as a cry baby and death is part of life... I should accept it and move on. So that leaves me really alone. I made it thru my birthday and the holidays. But Valentines has really been hard. Is there a time this will get easier?
