On what would have been her 87th birthday

[MissMillie]

I just miss her. Truth is, I didn't really have her for the last couple of years of her life, but I miss her the way she was before she got sick.

I keep thinking that I should do or make something to honor her, but I can't think what that should be.

She meant so much to so many people.

She made my life so beautiful.

I miss you Mom. Happy Birthday.

1. Why not bake her fav birthday cake?

Put candles on it & sing happy birthday to her.

11. THIS! I think it would be wonderful.

If not a whole cake, get a pair of cupcakes and celebrate! It might help you feel even closer to her.

Tight squeeeeeeze hug to you!

2. I'm so sorry for your loss.

After my Mom passed, I bought a book to write in, a journal I guess, and I wrote to her in it. Silly, I know, but by writing to her in it, I felt more like I was really talking to her.

I also found an app that was basically talking to your loved ones in heaven. I don’t think they make that app anymore but they do have things like “guidance from your angels” and I still use that when I miss her and wish I could talk with her. I pretend the comforting words are from her.

Those things are silly but they made me feel better.

I hope you will be able to find ways to feel better, too.

I’m so sorry for your loss, I know how much it hurts.

❤️😭

3. I'm so very sorry, MissMillie.

I can relate.. My mom would have been 86 in 5 days. I think the fact that she's in your heart and your mind honors her greatly. Your words are a lovely tribute.

Wishing you love and light to carry you through...

4. Make a cake.

My son was 5 days old when he died .
He would gave been 38 this Nov.
I make a cake every year on that date.

5. I am so very sorry for your loss. Some very good suggestions here. Maybe make her favourite meal,

get her favourite flowers? Or just talk to her.

Whatever you choose to do, know that your DU family is here for you. Huggggs. It does get easier.

6. So sorry MissMillie. When I think on losing my mom, I listen to one of her favorite

songs, before she passed. And it's one we played at her memorial service.

Sometimes music helps. I hope it does for you.

8. I miss my Mommy too. To honor her why not try doing a Mommy thing that he would have done

9. Hat's off to our mothers!

They were great!

10. I am sorry, Miss Millie.

I have been thinking so much of my mom too lately.

She has been gone for many years, she passed suddenly w/ an aneurysm.
The med techs were poorly trained, the ambulance got stuck in traffic.
she was in a foreign country.
So many things I regret.
I think of her often; she was my best friend.
I understand your pain, grief and sadness.
I am so sorry.

12. Been thinking about my mom too.

She would have been 88 on Monday. I was only sixteen when she died, and that was 41 years ago, but sometimes it feels like she was just here.

I don't care how old you are when it happens, it sucks to lose your mom.

Be good to yourself, MissMillie. Sending you strength and love.
