I am SO SORRY for your loss, Scooter9! My deepest condolences to you. Like all the other posters have already wisely said better than I ever could, I'm REALLY HAPPY that you were able to tell her that you love her. I'm sure she will forever remember you and your family in the Afterlife. Going to her favourite restaurant is a WONDERFUL idea to remember her. You are right when you talk about moving FORWARD. You will never forget her but you will be able to accept her passing away. I'm sure of that. You'll ALL be in my thoughts and prayers, including your mother of course. Also kudos to @tecomsin for being able to tell his father that he loves him! I'm always happy when threads like this can also help other people. Keep posting everyone. You never know how your posts may be helping other people without even you knowing it. Sending many safe warm hugs to you, Scooter9, your sister, your mother, your family, ALL the people you love and who love you and EVERYONE including ALL the wonderful folks here on PC!
