    No, because you would just send them back. Plus, you would want me to cover the therapy you need after.

    My father passed in 1987, was never close to him and grew up without him. My mom passed back in 2006. That was the hardest, I still miss my mom and think about her almost everyday.

    my mom passed away in 2005, just 10 days shy of her 65 birthday, my step-dad is very much alive and well, I believe he turned either 59 or 60. My "sperm donor", from what I've been told had a massive stroke and lives in a nursing home, but I just don't really care..

    Still painful

    I still have my mom and I'm trying to be closer to her, but I was always a daddys girl and she hated it.

    I lost my dad last year in May he was 56, he was a chromer and the compouds used to polish can cause black lung disease, he had problems since his 30's with his heart. He had one bypass, and owed for it, signed his house over to his gf so they couldn't take it. He started having really bad probs. the doc. looked at him and said his next heart attack would be fatel, but they wouldn't do sugery because he was uninsured and that they wouldn't/couldn't do surgery unless he had another heart attack.....talk about do no harm......

    He had a fatel one while he was out driving, the gf called me one day after he went missing. I finally called the morgue and found him there. The gf told me that since I was daddy's little girl to go get my daddy and take care of him. He had no life insurance, no health insurance, and I took care of him. There was a stranger that went to the hospital with him and claimed to be his gf and they let her leave which they weren't supposed to do, his wallet when i got it was empty.

    The gf has everything of his, has not given me one thing that was my fathers, kept his money since it was in her acct. He was adopted, and found his real family 5 yrs. before his death, she wouldn't give me the numbers, or even let me look in his room for them. Last time I was there she wouldn't even let me in the house.

    Then there was his missing truck, she found when it took me and a homicide detective 2 hrs. to find out where they really picked him up at. Needless to say that day I blacked out and was going for her her dot. stepped in front of her.


    Sorry to crap in your thread i know it's not V/W but I miss him and I'm still hurting.

    I miss him, I was mad at him, and told mom I would never talk to him again, and I never did.

    Oh yeah and I forgot to mention that her sister is a member here or was.

    No love, no friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever.

    I lost my mom 4 years ago, she died very sudden. She collapsed at my aunts house and never woke up, her heart stopped 5 hours later. Two days before my dd's birthday. She was living with my aunt and grandmother at the time. We were just starting to get close. It is very hard still. My mom was 55 when she passed.

    My grandmother raised me through my teen years. She was my best friend, I could always count on her. The day my mom died she gave up. She lasted almost a year. She passed the day before my oldest birthday. Even though we were expecting it, it is still so hard. My grammy was 89.

    Dh's parents are still both alive, hopefully they will for many more years. They are both in their early 50's.


    My mom...gone but not forgotten
