Sometimes, even today, I have moments when I have to remind myself that they're actually gone. It's not as sad anymore, but just an empty space in my view of the universe.
It has been a good day today! I used to chide those who spoke negatively of their mothers with such histrionic statements as "There will come a day when you'll wish you spent the time to stay in touch with your mom. Mine's no longer here...etc,etc" But I realized I was just displacing some of my own anger at losing my mom onto other people
( ... )
Oh, Pager, I didn't mean to make you sad! I'm glad you've got a good relationship with Pagermom. All we can do is live in the "now" and enjoy everything about them while they're here with us. *hugs*
Thank you! Each year gets a little easier - less sadness with time though the empty place never goes away but then I guess it really shouldn't if they were a big influence on us.

I called my mom earlier. She's 78 but mostly doing great. Thinking about the time when she'll not longer be with us is making me cry.
