However, I do know how it sad and lost it feels like to lose a loved one. My grandfather passed away more than 2 years ago and I was there to witness his passing. Just before he passed on, I too counted the number of breathes he took in a minute. I forgot the numbers but it was very minimal. It really hurt me so much to see my beloved grandfather move on to be with the Lord but I know that God loved him more and thats why He took him away from all of us. God loved your mum more and thats why he took her away from you. What you can do now is to live life to the fullest and not let your mother down. She performed many miracles with her hands on you...its now time for you to perform miracles on others and yourself. I am sure she was and is still very proud of what you are today. I for one am very very proud to have an online friend like you who is able to be independent in so many ways "normal" people aren't. You have brought so much hope in my life whenever I compare myself to you. You may be inadequate in the physical way but you are by no means lesser in other ways. Peter, I know that there are times when you just wished to have your mother a while longer but God chose to take her away from you. Don't despair because your mother will be up there watching over you :) Dear Peter,

I try not to dwell on those moments too much because when I do, I will find myself crying and wishing she didn't have to suffer the way she did just before she died. I am sure that your mum is watching over you from up above, knowing that God has better plans for you and that He is always with you. God's ways are higher and his purposes better that what we can think or imagine. Trust in Him as you continue your journey on earth and believe that He who has formed you will never leave you nor forsake you.

May you be embraced with the love and strength from the Lord as you remember her birthday. In the midst of our tears, we have the joys of the time spent together. Hope you are planning something special for her on 9th October. Hugs to you. Happy Birthday to mom, Peter. May you be embraced with the love and strength from the Lord as you remember her birthday.

I wish I could. If I could, it surely is from God. That is a nice thought. Thank you. Bkworm, I try not to brood too much but I get flashbacks evey now and then. After more than one year, I am still struggling to come to terms with my loss. I am healing but I can forsee that the process is going to be long and slow. Lilian, I have nothing special planned for this Saturday. Maybe I will bake a cake - Mum's favourite butter cake. Cherry,
