!luckylady, your post really stood out. Those people are angels to take your call.
My mother has a couple of grandkids that only call when looking for something. My mother has told me quite often how she would love to talk to them but they always have excuses. I constantly respond with "I wish grandma was still here so I could call her but, I don't have that option".

My mother will be gone 3 years this month. I still think about her thru out the day. I still drive by her house that I sold earlier this year. I too have picked up the phone several times to call her to remind her of something or tell her something....only to remember.

Last year without thinking (really) I bought her 2 Christmas presents.....I gave them to my aunt her sister after realizing what I'd done.

I think the holidays are the worst for me. Mom passed away 6 days after Thanksgiving and the day before my brothers 27th birthday. Her birthday would of been a week after his to the day.

I almost crying When I saw this post. Because of what is going on I almost dialed the phone to talk to the person who died. Then I was like thats what this is about........
Plus a lady I was VERY close to I used to work with we would call each often. I still want to pick up the phone and chat.
I don't think the feeling ever goes away.

I don't think of calling my mother on the phone since I lived with her and didn't need to talk on the phone with her. Then after I was married for 5 years she came to live with us, plus she couldn't have talked on the phone with her forgetfullness.

But I do think of her when I go someplace where we use to go together. A certain restaurant or shop. The park I took her to to see the ducks and things like that. My sister thinks of her when she sees things to buy her. She lives out of town so always bought mom little things each time she came for a visit.

I've had that happen so many times, you are not alone. For me it's been with my dad and my mom's boyfriend who was like another dad to me. They both died within months of each other in the fall of 05. But to this day, I'll still get the urge to call either of them at points.

This new years eve will be the 21st anniversary of my moms death. I am 32 years old and still sit and cry like a 4 year old sometimes screaming I want my mommy. It's been a loooong time since I've thought of calling her but I did dream of her the other day and I haven't done that in years... so I am still rattled about that.

Have any of you ever thought of setting up a myspace memorial page? Then you could leave note messages in memory of loved ones. I saw on a forum somewhere not too long ago that someone had done that, and I thought it was a neat idea.

My mom also passed away 17 years ago July. I have these same feelings alot. I'm getting a wee bit weepy just sitting here thinking about it. I think it happens the most when I'm feeling alone one way or another and I just still need my mom.
