Try to focus on all the beautiful times you shared with your mother. & it's ok to have a good cry sometimes. xoHey Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364446516114445193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351953462470867432.post-17111744257876106202008-04-20T22:52:00.000-04:002008-04-20T22:52:00.000-04:00nothing constructive to say, I just enjoyed readin...nothing constructive to say, I just enjoyed reading that, about Jerzy and your mum :)Tatyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10507302176348930523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351953462470867432.post-25893404473275137152008-04-19T14:14:00.000-04:002008-04-19T14:14:00.000-04:00Tatsuko san, I felt the same when I read to the en...Tatsuko san, I felt the same when I read to the end. My mother rescued me when I was 4 days old. She didn't give birth to me but she's the only mother I have. We are traditional & she taught me many old ways, most of all filial piety, which I can see in you too. So each spring & autumn, I had to visit the bio-lady, as "she gave me life". It was tough but I do it as taught by my (adoptive) parents. I am always grateful to my mom & I can't bear to think of the day when she will be gone. She turns 70 on Golden Week & we will all reunite in our home country then.XUEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778103388264364774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351953462470867432.post-74284647816057382832008-04-18T17:10:00.000-04:002008-04-18T17:10:00.000-04:00The photos are all wonderful and the one with your...The photos are all wonderful and the one with your mom is great..I took care of my mom and it was my turn to show my love to her for all the years of her love to me..I am so thankful for that time..It will always give you peace..Rosebud Collectionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907760433209723539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351953462470867432.post-35295754681098463832008-04-18T12:46:00.000-04:002008-04-18T12:46:00.000-04:00what a beautiful and moving post.thank you for sha...what a beautiful and moving post.<BR/>thank you for sharing, I know it can be hard to talk about losing someone you love.<BR/>your cats were beautiful.Sarah McBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14613710992712474616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351953462470867432.post-74217936864731391872008-04-18T09:50:00.000-04:002008-04-18T09:50:00.000-04:00It is so hard to lose a parent.

Going through the process of being with them, when they are vulnerable and sick, needing us in a way they never have before... bitter sweet. We do the best that we can, and I think guilt is just part of being a loving daughter. The first year is the hardest, but try to focus on the love, and the happy times, as it has a healing effect. Loving wishes to you.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913095438247860953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351953462470867432.post-32173955798483524102008-04-18T09:38:00.000-04:002008-04-18T09:38:00.000-04:00Thanks, Charmaine.

Writing it down is tough since it makes it "real" and it's easier just to push it down or block it out (I'm a champion push-it-downer), but I feel like I'm moving forward - slowly but surely :)tatsukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110576967496843061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351953462470867432.post-50017760150044843982008-04-18T09:33:00.000-04:002008-04-18T09:33:00.000-04:00I love the photo of Jerzy on that blue fabric...ju...I love the photo of Jerzy on that blue fabric...just brilliant.
