bean-tor Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 My deepest condolences, Lucas What a touching post. From what you've written about your mother, it sounds like she'd be quite proud of you for recognizing that her spirit and energy live on...and for choosing to be inspired by her to reach your own potential.

Xanadu Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I'm so sorry, Lucas. I feel a special kinship to you after reading that because my mother is also currently 86 years old, and I have to say, in recent months I find myself being so sad because I know what's to come. I know we can't dwell on what we can't change and that "it is what it is" but I feel so fortunate to still have her. She is my best friend in life and nobody loves me the way she does. I truly hurt for you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so very much for telling me this, and for your kind words The "best friend" part rings so true You probably don't have to do anything more than you've been doing - just being yourself, because what you just wrote could only come from a loving and caring daughter .
