Today would have been my mother's 82nd birthday.

[NNadir]

She didn't see her 52nd birthday, and I miss her.

It would have been wonderful to have seen her grow old.

1. That was awfully young.

I'm sorry that you didn't get the chance to see her grow old.:hug:

4. It was young.

It's more than thirty years and still I miss her.

There is so much I wish I'd said.

Thanks for the hug.

5. I know what you mean

my mom died in her 50s too...
I am sorry

[NNadir]

6. And I'm sorry for you.

We are luckier than some though. Indeed, ironically my mom was less lucky than I as her mother died when she was in her early 40's.

I thought my mother was being maudlin about it all when I was growing up, always reflecting on mortality, her own included. I never thought it would happen to her, and by extension, me. But it did, and now I know why she was how she was.

Here's some hugs for you:

Thanks for sharing.

8. Oh my goodness, thank you so much and many hugs back

Yes, her perspective and view were based on what she experienced, wasn't it.

7. My mom will be 82 in August.

I can't imagine losing her so long ago. I'm so sorry for you loss and pain. :-(
