Hi Alison, I'm sorry that you're in the same boat as I am being an olny child. I have just begun to go through Mom's things and so I am expecting to have some hard days ahead. Even the good memories hurt right now. Honestly, I am just trying to go hour by hour. On a sidenote, I saw the picture you have of you and your parents and I must tell you, your mother's smile was beautiful. My mom had a beautiful smile too and I really miss it. I know you miss hers a lot. Thank you for your note. I'm here if you'd ever like to chat.

I was so sorry to read about your mother. I am an only child too, and lost my mother in October. I know everyday is hard and I hope today was a better one.

My thoughts are with you. Your story is almost identical to mine. My mother had a very aggressive case of colon cancer that spread throughout her abdomine and liver. I just keep thinking if the doctors had listened to her she would still be here. None of my friends get what I am feeling or going through. My heart goes out to you! Just wanted you to know someone out there understands what your going through.
