It's been 13 years...

It's been 13 years since my mom died.

I wasn't really thinking about it this year, but I guess my subconscious was; I dreamt about her this morning. In the dream she was still alive, and we were making plans to have dinner. She and my dad left to go do something, and it suddenly struck me that she shouldn't have been there because she had died. I ( Read more... )

I know the sadness you are talking about JP. I lost my dad in 2004 to cancer.It will be 7 years this August and I miss him so much it hurts.
I still have dreams all the time where he is alive today, interacting with people and family that are in my life right now.When I wake up I feel sad but I also feel happy in a way because the dreams are so real that it seems like he is alive.
I have dreams like this often, so I feel like my dad is visiting me in my dreams.
I know he is always with me as your mother is always with you JP.It doesn't make the sadness go away but it does make me feel better.
You are such a great and wonderful person JP, and wherever your mom is she is looking at you and your family with much love, and is very proud of you for being the wonderful man that you are. You have many friends that love you and I am one of those friends.
A part of who you are today is because of your mom, and her love and guidance throughout your life.
I might not see you that often or get to hang out with you as much as I would like but I am always happy to visit you when we do go out. I thank your mom for giving us you JP. That alone makes her a wonderful person to me.
So next time she visits you in your dreams, try not to wake up sad but just be glad you got to spend a little more time with her,even if it was in a dream. That's what I do :)

Much love to you and a HUGE HUG for you as well handsome.

Thanks, Daryl.
Most of the dreams I have about her are good ones - if a bit weird. Most of the time, we know that she died, but for some reason she is back with us. We also know to never talk about- or tell her- about that time when she was dead.

I often wake up happy, until i realize it was a dream, and she's not really 'back'. Then i get blue and melancholy.

Hugs to you and Mike. Hope to see ya more this summer!
