Quote From: benjaminsmomWhat a blessing this show was today. My mom died 3 years ago. She was in a nursing home from a stroke. I went almost everyday, and I look back now and am so glad that I did. It was very hard because she was a very controlling person but loved me unconditionally all my life. I miss her and this brought back a lot of memories. My family are now dealing with my father in law that has just gone into a nursing home. It is very hard for my husband to go and to be able to relate with his dad. I just try to encourage him and be there for them both. We are leaving shortly to go for a cat scan on his dad. They are looking for lung cancer. It will be a tough day but I know that with God's help He will see us through. I am going to buy " One more day" TODAY for us to read. Try to live each day to the fullest. My mom passed away Jan 2006 - she was just sitting in her chair in the afternoon, talking on the phone with my sister and passed away. My dad passed away in Oct 2006 of a broken heart. He couldn't bear to be without Mom. I have read Mitch Albom's other books, but can't quite read "One More Day" yet. I'm looking forward to it, but am still somewhat emotional about my folks. I miss them everyday and am getting ready to celebrate my 50th birthday as an "orphan". Kind of silly to think that way, but I've also got a great husband who has been there for me. However, I don't believe there was anything left unsaid between me and my parents. I spoke to them every day for the last several years and they both know how much I loved them as I know how much they loved me! I will someday soon read One More Day.
