[quote=Anonymous]I miss my mom too.  It's her birthday over Thanksgiving and it's been 2 years since she died and I still cry all the time.

I just wanted to offer another perspective.  My oldest (who was 9 when my mom died) told me the other day thatthe other two kids don't really remember Grandma at all but didn't want to tell me that and upset me.  My oldest also admitted that she "doesn't really" remember Grandma "all that well."

OK,t hat sucks. My heart is broken.  But wouldn't it be nice for my kids to have a lovely grandma-ish type person in their lives. Of course she won't be supplant mom - my mom is gone and NO ONE could ever, ever replace her because she was the best - but they could have a relationship with a nice older lady who cared for them and cared for my dad.  They've already lost memories of my mom.  The new lady didn't cause that, it's a function of the way things are.

Either way, I'm so sorry.  I'm missing my mom pretty terribly this week.  I bet you are too and I'm sending you some strength.[/quote]
