Oh Rtuh, I'm so sorry. Haven't heard much from you lately and I was wondering how your mom was doing. I know she was a great inspiration to you.

She serves as a role model for all of us that are following are dreams and out there enjoying our sports. She was and still is the original tough chick...in a small, fiesty package.

[jeannierides]

Ruth, I am so sorry for your loss.

[crazycanuck]

OMG! Ruth, I'm sorry to hear this news :(

YOur mom sounded like one amazing woman. I remember you telling us about her fight and how long she fought for. Her spirits were raised by the messages we sent on.

You're a wonderful daughter and she loved you dearly. May you cherish the memories of a strong woman who fought until she could no more.

Take care of yourself & your family.

I know i'm in a far away country but if you need anything, let me know.

I am so sorry to hear that, my thoughts are with you and your family.

[margo49]

Thoughts and prayers your way
Maybe you could post a story or two about her - not from the last while of illness and courageous struggle, maybe even before you were born. Just some little thing that is not big but special . I like those stories, they make me feel connected to the people and also show how life is made up of millions of little things, not politics and history. If you follow my drift...

I'm sorry to hear about your mom. She's an inspiration and lives on in your heart and thoughts, never far when you need her. Feel free to post/vent/cry as needed - we're here for you.

Ruth,

Having gone through a similar trial, I can truly say that I understand how you feel. My heart goes out to you and your family. You always know it's going to be hard when it happens, but you never really know how hard.

When my father passed away, a lot of people told me they were sorry for my loss. I appreciated all of their kind words. Eventually I started to see things differently and I becam thankful for every moment, every interaction I'd had with my Dad. I became thankful for my grief because it was a sign of how strong our bond was. How much sadder would it be to not feel grief for a parent because you had not experienced that deep love.

Take care of yourself. Process things as you need to. Love your family and friends, they will help you heal.

[Ninabike]

Ruth, so sorry for your loss. Please be assured of my thoughts and prayers for your mom, you and your family.

[Kimmyt]

I'm really sorry to hear this, Ruth. It seems like she Lived Life, and thats alot more than some can say. Be strong, ok? (not that I doubt you wouldn't be, for a moment.... the Original Touch Chick has a daughter who's a pretty Touch Chick herself)

Ruth,

I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. I loved reading your story about her on the other thread. She sounded like a real fun, fiesty lady who lived life to the fullest. What Wahine said above about grieving a parent is so very true. I know you are very thankful to have had the bond you did with your mom, and no one can take that away from you.

Ruth,
I am so sorry to read of your mother's passing. From what I read from your other post she sounds as though she left you with a lot of fond memories. She sounds like a woman I would have greatly admired. You and your family are in my prayers.

[tprevost]

oh Ruth... I am so sorry to hear this :( my condolences to you and your family...

[Velobambina]

Ruth---I'm so sorry about your loss. I hope you find comfort in your memories of her. I'm thinking of you.

[Thistle]

((( hugs )))

Arohanui from Aotearoa, Ruth

Your story about your mum was delightful and how fortunate to have someone you adore and admire in your life

I believe strongly that if grown children come back to parents because they want to, not because they have to, then the parents must have done a great job

And from your story... that is what your mum did, a great job... you chose to spend your spare time with her, and although her loss will be acute the memories your share with your family (and us) will ensure she is never gone

(((Ruth)))

[Xrayted]

(((Ruth))) My heart goes out to you and your family. From reading about your Mom, I know she fought long and hard to hold on. What an incredible lady, what an incredible life. Take care. Come on here and talk to us anytime you need to.

Ruth,
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom in April. Her name was Ruth. I miss her so much. Stay strong, girl. Everyone tells me that it gets easier as time passes.
