Precious
Tonight I am attending the memorial of one of my clients. Cancer stole her life from her too early. Her daughter, also a client of mine, is my age. Her daughter is not yet married and has no children. I can't help but think that her mother will never see her get married and never see the children she may one day have. And she will never be able to call her mother to ask her those questions we all have for our mothers about our kids.
I can only begin to fathom how difficult this must be. Thinking about not having my mother in my life makes me feel like I'm suffocating. And yet, I know that one day she will be gone. It makes me appreciate every single thing she does for me and my family and every precious moment we spend together.

I know what you are talking about here, that suffocating feeling. And I have HAD my time with my Mom. Most of those I-need-my-mommy-points in my life have been HIT, and yet, the idea of being without...
Sorry about your friend.
What a heartbreak for your friend's daughter. And, yeah, I know what you're talking about...
I can't even imagine losing my mother though I know I'm not exactly a spring chicken anymore and neither is she. My thoughts are with you and your client. How touching that you are going to the memorial service.
