@sunny12051988 Crying as I read this, overwhelmed and trying to get my baby to sleep. I needed this more than you know, thank you for sharing

@sunny12051988 I think about this every day, it’s the worst feeling knowing my baby will have the biggest heart break when I’m gone.
She’s 5 months

@mgmgmg I hear you! Hugs!

@sunny12051988 I’m bookmarking this so I can revisit it every time I feel like time cannot pass by fast enough. Lots and lots and lots of love. Thank you so much for sharing.

@kalashnikovmage I understand, babies are so, so hard. But compared to the long life they will have, it’s only a small fraction of the time. My youngest grandchild is 4 weeks, and I do not know how many years I have left. So I try to pour my entire heart and soul into her.

@sunny12051988 Your children and grandchildren are all so incredibly lucky to have you.

@sunny12051988 I’m going to miss my mom so much when her time comes. I think about it every single day since bringing my baby home. Thank you for sharing this. Tears

@srcnfk I understand. I miss my mom too. But she moved in with me after my dad died and she had spent a year alone. She hated it. After 2 years she got dementia. I was her caregiver. Quarantine happened. I got her on home hospice. It was a downhill struggle. I miss her like she was. But…I’m glad she was not forced to suffer anymore under dementia. We got some really fun times, going shopping. Going out to eat. We had some truly wonderful times and she enjoyed her great grandkids so much. I (and her nurse) was standing with her and praying as she took her last breath. I stayed right there with her body until the mortuary came to get her. A few weeks after her funeral, I was standing at the counter waiting for my coffee to brew. I felt her come up behind me, wrap her arms around my waist, and hug me. It was like our last goodbye before she went to heaven. She’s been gone almost 3 years. But my grief isn’t as bad anymore. I accept that she’s with the Lord and I accept that she’s proud of the way I take care of my children and my grandchildren. (I inherited her cat, lol)

@sunny12051988 My mum is my best friend. I’m 30 and have just had my first baby. She has been there for me more than words can describe. I am so lucky and grateful that she chose to be my mum. Your post is so heart warming I can confirm that when your daughter tells you she loves you so much, she is telling the wholehearted truth xo
