For Mom - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

I want to take the time here to tell you who and what I'm grateful for.
A true angel and a saint. A lover of children and of peace. A gatherer of love and contentment. A symbol of peace and harmony.

I want to tell you how grateful I am for my mother.

The woman who loved me, fought for me, never let me go without the things I needed in life. The woman who when I was at my lowest would pick me up, dust me off and kiss my cheek saying how everything would work out just fine. I didn't grow up rich by way of money and accessories but I sure was the richest boy in the world with the love she shared with me. I never left the house without her makingsure I knew just how much she loved me.

My mother never gave me anything less than everything she had.

My mother left this world on Monday October 8th, 2007

She was 52 years old. She was a diabetic, and suffered from cervicle cancer for 10 years. She also had Hepititis C. She was on dialasys for the last 6 months or so and her kidneys just weren't strong enough to go through the treatment again.

I have been blessed with 28 years worth of love from my mom and I cry as I write this because I'm happy she doesn't have to suffer any more. She loved me more than I probably deserved but that's who she was. She loved her children before she would let herself be loved. She gave before she ever got. My mom was the greatest person in the world to me. She is half of everything that I am, if not more. Anything good that's in me I got from her. I was selfish to beg God to give her back to me, but understand that she was the only person in the world who knew all of me. who understood everything I've ever gone through. Who loved me no matter what I did.

I am grateful to you mom.

Thank you for all of your love and for all of the years of joy and happiness you gave me

I'll hold you tight tonight when I sleep and when I wake in the morning.
I'll give you the same unconditional love you showered me with for the rest of my life.

Thank you mom.

Love always,

your baby boy

The spirit of your mother will live forever in your heart and in your memories, and she will remain closer than you think.

I'm sorry for your loss, and send my hugs and prayers.

I cannot say much, you know why.... this is hitting way to close to home..... I am so happy that you had her for so long. I wish you had her longer.......I can close my eyes and wrap my arms around you and hug you tight......I will give you all the support I can!!!!
I am so terriably sorry for your loss, and I wish there was something I could say or do that would magically make this hurt and pain your feeling go away..... I guess the only thing I can say is I wish I had met her, she sounded like an awsome woman!!!

I remember Mom telling me once that all she ever wanted was for me to have peace in my life and not to turn out like my father. He never held a long term job and drank and used drugs until my family was broke.

She knew that if I went down the same road he did that I'ld never have an ounce of peace in my life. She knew. I just googled my fathers name whil in Georgia and 3 days after mom died and saw that at 58 years old he was arrested where he lives in La Varkin, UT for being drunk in public and for lying to the police about who he was.

I don't want to be 58 and not know my family and not have a good job and be lonely and still slowly killing myself.

Right now I'm grateful for knowing that, for now anyway, I have more sense than that. I got the gift of common sense from mom. I got my alcoholism from dad.
I'm grateful for the common sense cause without it, I'ld just have the alcoholism and who knows where I'd be

Thanks Mom

Sorry I missed this thread until now, Rob. Thank you for sharing so many beautiful thoughts and memories about your Mother. I can't help but think that she's grateful too, to have a caring and loving son like you.

Sweetheart it isn't our parents who define who we are as a person or who we want to be for them but who we are when we are alone in the dark.....I had a friend once tell me that when I could sit in frount of a mirror of an hour looking into my own eyes and could love who was staring back my gamma would be the most proud....because then I would be able to love the woman I had became instead of trying to love who I thought I was........

You are you, an awsome sensitive man who just has a lot on his plate right now, I have heard that saying over and over again that God doesn't give us more than we can handle.........this is just him testing you ( I think it is his year for it too...) to see how much you can indure, and you can indure a lot......you are made of strong stock.....just look how your mom did it...after all she had time to put all of her love into rasing you and your siblings right???? And with out your dad, and when he was there putting up with his crap too.....right???? You come from a long line of fighters honey......they are handing you all of the moral support that they can, it is just up to you to take it from them......

You are loved Robert Loomer don't ever forget it!:praying
