And 19 July would have been her 83rd birthday.

She spent the last five years of her life on dialysis, and it felt like D took her away from me 5 years too early.  I know this is so awfully selfish, but I could have really used her support, but I didn't dare ask because she had so much on her plate.  She'd call me every day, many times from D, and we'd make phosphorous jokes that weren't funny to anyone but us.

I can't sleep.  I wish I had more emotional support.  It's really been hard doing this all on my own.

You will ALWAYS miss your mom!  :cuddle;

After more than 10 years, I dream of seeing my mother almost every night.

I'm thinking of you.

Today would have been my mom's 83rd birthday.  It's really only now sinking in...post traumatic stress, perhaps. :'(
