[Moostache]

131. My deepest condolences...

I just got through my first Christmas since the passing of my own mother this past November, and it doesn't matter what time or day this happens, it leaves a gaping hole that only closes slowly with time but feels like it will never close again. We cried and remembered mom last night and what helped us all were the shared memories of better days and happier times that temporarily fill that horrible dull ache. I hope that you are able to find the support and memories that will help carry you through this as swiftly as possible.

[FakeNoose]

132. An eternal flame for your Mom

It's hard to say goodbye to someone who's always been there for you.

Those who love you will understand and empathize.

Remember that your mother is in a better place now, and her time to suffer is over.
When you see her again in heaven, you'll have so much to tell her.
