I too have been busy; behind on blogging myself and reading yours (and others) so I am only now catching up. I did notice you were not on IG as much, but I figured you were busy with clients. I am so sorry for your loss. I sometimes think it's harder when you have a more complicated relationship; so many things remain unsaid and so many painful memories are buried. Those parent/child bonds are strong!<br /><br />Hopefully you are doing better now and have the support of your wonderful husband and children to rally around you. I do hope you will have a much better year this year! Looking forward to (hopefully!) meeting you in person in August:)<br /><br />Sheila<br />xoSheila @ Maison de Cinqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285114069646866391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-16745468964898020832016-05-31T10:40:54.081-07:002016-05-31T10:40:54.081-07:00Thank you so much friend and good luck in your ret...Thank you so much friend and good luck in your retirement!!cindy hattersley designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147135323683353754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-60541506902814472082016-05-31T10:40:26.139-07:002016-05-31T10:40:26.139-07:00Hi Julie I know what a struggle you had last year....Hi Julie I know what a struggle you had last year.

I empathize so much with you in your caring for your elderly, ill parent. I'm sorry you have had such a tough year! I liked seeing the pictures of you and your mother, she was a beautiful woman (as are you.) I know you'll have an easier time now and hope your summer brings plenty of good times to lift your spirits!

I commend you for hanging in there with your mom, as that must have been very difficult for you given the relationship you described. I too have a very strained relationship with my mother. It's the reason I prayed for boys (and got them) each time I was pregnant, as I was afraid of another failed mother-daughter relationship. You must feel a sense of peace in knowing you did your best until the end. You've had an extremely tough year so look at it this way...things can only get better!! Wishing you a very happy and healthy rest of 2016, which sure is flying by quickly!!<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />Celia Celia Becker @ After Orange Countyhttp://www.afterorangecounty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-35137035325497118112016-05-26T19:29:40.227-07:002016-05-26T19:29:40.227-07:00cindy dear cindy, i was thinking of you just now a...cindy dear cindy, i was thinking of you just now and wondered why i had not received any posts. when i came here to visit you.......oh so sorry for the loss of your mom. <br />having a front row seat on this journey is one of our most difficult. <br />i lost my mom last may and today found myself picking up the phone to tell her something...sigh<br />prayers for healing, hugs to a dear friend, wishes for peace within<br />xx<br />debra<br /><br />debra @ 5th and statehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18039580956294327582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-76212748019536087502016-05-21T13:01:47.081-07:002016-05-21T13:01:47.081-07:00Cindy dear, I am just seeing this post for the fir...Cindy dear, I am just seeing this post for the first time. I am so very sorry for the loss of your mom. What a bittersweet time. I know that she was fortunate to have your love and care to the end. I remember the weeks of hospice when my dad was diagnosed with cancer. It is so emotionally draining. I hope that you are able to take some time to rest and recharge yourself after this difficult time of care-giving and loss. The journey of grief is like none other. I know you've walked through it before, yet each time is different. I hope you feel the love and care that surrounds you from all over. I'm reading such loving comments here on your blog. Sending love and prayers for comfort and peace for you and your family. xx, Heather Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032908426814046368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-85851672048160915662016-05-19T18:58:50.623-07:002016-05-19T18:58:50.623-07:00Oh Cindy...I'm so sorry...You and your family ...Oh Cindy...I'm so sorry...You and your family are in my prayers...I lost both of my parents last year and a day doesn't go by that I don't shed a tear...I'm sending tons of hugs to you!Julie Taylor and Danni Greenwalthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654179547882975006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-36202921475427167452016-05-18T07:53:05.112-07:002016-05-18T07:53:05.112-07:00so sorry for your loss.
