I just read this post, as I came here from another blog. I NEVER leave a comment on a blog, this time I had to. My mom died (there I said it, it’s tough, but I did it) a little over a month ago. And while I do believe in God and have a strong faith and feel her presence, this post gave me chills and tears and all of those good feeling you get when you read something that touches your heart. I needed this post today, I needed to read about someone else who had lost their mother early in life. I needed to know that I will continue to feel her presence in 10 years. And, I needed you to know how much I appreciate that you posted this; how much it meant to me, today, on yet another semi sad day. Thank you for this.

Stumbled upon your blog by happenstance…and as I am typing through tears…I know that I must refer a grieving mother with whom I am acquainted…to view your story and BELIEVE! How truly touching and beautiful. Thanks for sharing! This belongs in a Chicken Soup for the Grieving Soul Book!

Peace and lightness to you!

Found your blog through the twists and turns left by the comments of others on other blogs… And I’m SO pleased I did.

I love this wonderful story. I really hope it’s true because I’m forever struggling with faith.

Now however, it is You, who I am concerned with. I send you great bounds of positive energy during what I can only imagine must be a dreadful time.

Know that we’re out here… We blog keepers who care and share and devote time to reaching out, so as not to feel quite so alone in our lives with the choices and occurrences with which we must attend to. May you return to excellent health in no time and become stronger for having gone through this.

My thoughts are with you.
