I Miss My Dad


Thank you so much for this website. My brother told me about it a couple of months ago. Our loving mother died at the age of 67 in August 2001. I guess I've blocked out the date, and I can't remember what day of the week it was either. A month later my beloved father-in-law died in my husband's arms; and six weeks after that my sweet mother-in-law followed him, the Sunday after Thanskgiving. Because of my in-law's deaths, it's as if I haven't had time to mourn my own mom. But I loved her so much. Yesterday I passed by a shop in a lovely public garden where they were serving a beautiful English high tea. Momentarily I felt an eager anticipation about the pleasure of having tea there with my mom some day soon, until I realized I would never have tea with her there or anywhere ever again. Since then I've been badly depressed, and tonight I can't sleep. Just crying for her, missing her. And missing all the good things that can be shared best only with her. She died of a lon g, cruel disease, and she had in some ways a hard and lonely life before that. I wish had been more comfort to her over the years, and less often critical and troublesome. I miss you so much, Mommy. Is there a heaven? Will we see you there? Will I ever ride a train with you again? Thanks for this website. Blessyou, your dad, your family.
