Backstory
My mother died 25 years ago despite my fervent hope (and hers) that she would stick around for a while longer. Oftentimes when I'm troubled or scared or confused, the words, "I want my mom," run through my mind, unbidden. I think they always will.

Thanks for putting your words and sharing your thoughts so eloquently. When nervous, questioning myself, or just need a little reassurance, I ask my Mom to "come down" and spend the day with me. I know she's here in presence and yet, I couldn't agree more, that it is automatic. I think Dad's thought I lost it, when really, just acutely aware of her existence. Hope your Mom is always close at heart. Lovely!Elisa_Shevitz says,
This moving sentiment came to me at a perfect time. My (temporarily estranged) Mom reached out to me today, and your poignant words spoke to my heart and what I'm feeling now. Thank you.Bevvie says,

You are so right on that and you will never stop missing her. I lost my mother 27 years ago, she was 58. There are so many days I would give anything to just kiss her cheek and be near her again.CSV1026 says,
Thank you for that... and you are not alone in this. Not at all.favepeep says,
