I am still dealing with the 'firsts'. My first birthday without my mom, earlier this month, was horrible. Mother's Day is coming up and it's going to be really hard... followed shortly after that by the one year anniversary of her passing. She was my rock... and I miss her terribly. </p> <p>{{{HuddysMama}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311/page/2#post-374571 Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:07:12 +0000 AV 374571@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>(((HM)))... it's been 11 yrs for me since I lost my Dad and I still have "moments".... we too were very close...... my thoughts and prayers are with you! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311/page/2#post-374569 Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:03:45 +0000 HuddysMama 374569@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm doing really well considering.

Hopefully I will stop doing that soon and I'll be able to get on with my life. </p> <p>I loved my father very much and I have such a hole in my life now. I guess we were closer than I thought.

My, how we MISS YOU! You know you are such a valuable member of our family! Please give those boys of yours extra squeezes from me! Please take time to cry, I know I didn't when my dad did and when it happened, I too, almost was hospitalized. It is so hard, I understand! I think your dad and my dad are playing with the kitties at the bridge! They are good guardian angels for all our kits that have gone before us and we long for! No worries, they are in good hands! I continue to pray for you each and every single day! ((((HM)))) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311/page/2#post-372969 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 13:51:27 +0000 Nirmal 372969@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>HM im so sorry to hear of ur father passing....bless ur heart. it will be 10 years for me this year for my own. if u ever want to talk im here! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311/page/2#post-372943 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 13:19:36 +0000 tinafishfrombirthplaceofElvis 372943@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>{{{{{Karen}}}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311/page/2#post-372927 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 12:27:02 +0000 2 Popoki 372927@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I understand HM.... you are in my thoughts often. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311/page/2#post-372925 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 12:18:29 +0000 Cats4Cats 372925@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>{{{HM}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311/page/2#post-372919 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 12:05:40 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 372919@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>HM, glad you are back on the list. Don't be afraid to break down and have that massive cry. When I lost my big sister, I felt like there weren't enough tears in the world that I could cry to make up for the loss of someone I loved so much. I felt like I was going to break into pieces. There aren't enough tears and I still cry for her. Letting them come spilling out helps though. </p> <p>Just go ahead and get a box of tissues, grab a cat or two and cry and when you can, start talking...even if just to the cats. Talk about the good times, the pain of his illness and the impact he had on your life. Minister to yourself the way you have ministered to others this week. Your eyes will feel like sand paper, your head will hurt and your throat will be raw. Later, when you have had some aspirin, something soothing to drink and some eyedrops you will feel better.</p> <p>Love you bunches, wish you peace and sending you hugs </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311/page/2#post-372915 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 11:58:14 +0000 Buttercup 372915@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>[[[[[HM]]]]]] </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311/page/2#post-372913 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 11:56:09 +0000 debsterwiz 372913@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>{{{HM}}} Take great care my friend. The boys will be a god send for you now. Cat fur makes wonderful tear catchers. Milo will be pleased to hear that you are slowly on the mend so he can come and visit his Texas family again. :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311/page/2#post-372907 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 11:52:20 +0000 HuddysMama 372907@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks, you guys. You are all so sweet and kind.</p> <p>Last night I kept picturing my dad playing with Andy the tail-less wonder at the bridge. He was not a cat-lover, but for some reason, every bob-tailed cat I've had (there have been 3) he took a shine too. He just loved Huddy. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311/page/2#post-372906 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 11:51:50 +0000 JoanfromNewJersey 372906@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>My sincere condolences to you HM. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311/page/2#post-372896 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 11:12:50 +0000 GreatDane 372896@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I've been thinking about you, too, HM! I'm so sorry about your dad and that you're going through all this. It will get better, but it takes time. Hang in there, take care of yourself and hug those boys! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311/page/2#post-372894 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 11:08:21 +0000 Emma 372894@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm so sorry, honey. Please know we love you much and pray for you always. Always and all ways! {{{HM and Huddy and Rocky}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311/page/2#post-372893 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 11:06:52 +0000 HuddysMama 372893@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks, sweetie. Don't worry, it's the thought that counts and since you thought about me at all, that means quite a bit to me. It's been 2 weeks today and I keep waiting to just break down, but I don't know if that's going to happen. I was the same way when my mom died and they wound up putting me in the hospital for 3 weeks. Hopefully I've learned better coping skills since then. :)</p> <p>I just feel like if I start to cry, I'll never stop. So I don't cry.</p> <p>((TDK)) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311/page/2#post-372891 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 11:00:17 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 372891@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>HM, I just want you to know that I am sorry for the loss of your father. I understand that even though he was sick at least he was physically there. Now that he has passed on, it is hard to get one's mind around the fact that he is no longer here with you. Just know he is with you now in spirit. I am so sorry I didn't send this to you earlier. I haven't been on TDK much and am very sorry that I didn't at least send you a card. I am truly sorry for that. Sending you many hugs of condolences. Sylvester and Mia send you headbonks and purrs. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311#post-370784 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:07:40 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 370784@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I wish I could tell you that you'll get over losing your dad. But you don't - you will always miss him. However, in time, remembering becomes less painful and more joyful. In several years you'll find that you are thinking of him as though he was just off traveling somewhere. It does get better, it just takes time. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311#post-370767 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 18:37:19 +0000 Lynn from PA 6/8 370767@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hello, HM, I am glad to see your post. We understand the time it takes. I loved your story about the pork chop and the beer. Sounds like a similar situation that would have happened in my home. I, too, am an orphan. Having lost the last of my parents 3 years ago. I don't know what to say to make it easier for you, but know that is does get easier with time. You will find your way. Your family will do that. If it weren't for the grandkids, I don't know how I would have survived. They show renewed hope that life goes on and we can only show our best to them and our children to leave the legacy behind as our parents did before us. I wish you peace, a good nights sleep, more beer and more pork!!! (makes note to send bacon to HM) And fire up the BBQ, when she is ready!! Love ya, and take good care, Mama Lynn </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311#post-370716 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:50:33 +0000 mollycat71 370716@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Aw, HM, I do understand. Take your time, we are always here for you. I am glad you can look on things and smile when you think of dad! He looked like a wonderful man, a really good guy! We will always miss our parents, seems so empty in the world without them. I know there will be hard days ahead but I think your boys will keep you in check for the time being. Cats just have a way of knowing what to do to make us feel better. Hang in there friend, lots of hugs your way! ((((HM)))) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311#post-370708 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:41:25 +0000 kittymom 370708@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh, HM, you know we're here for you; grieving takes its own sweet time, and it is different for everyone. Just do what you have to, when you have to, for now. {{{HM}}} Purrs and headbonks to the kits, too, from Mac and Grommie. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311#post-370704 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:37:16 +0000 AV 370704@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>{{{{{HM!}}}}} you are such a wonderful person!.... blessings and peace, and may you find God's comfort!...... your three kits are "little angels" of love, and I hope you find time to find solace in their unconditional love!..... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311#post-370703 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:37:02 +0000 2 Popoki 370703@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>So good to hear from you HM. Yes, I understand completely what you are going through. It was at least 2 months after my Mom passed that I had my big cry. She hasn't been gone a year yet - not looking forward to Mother's Day this year. </p> <p>Super Big Hugs HM !!!! Luv ya !!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311#post-370700 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:33:15 +0000 HuddysMama 370700@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi guys! ((group hug))</p> <p>I'm still at work - I have SO much to do. I still wasn't really caught up from when I was sick last time, so at least my days pass quickly. </p> <p>I've really missed everyone, and hopefully I'll be able to spend more time on here as I catch up and things slow down for the summer (it's notoriously slow here in the summer because of all the travel - most managers aren't even in the office, which is good).</p> <p>The service for my dad was beautiful, he had so many people who loved him. I don't like going home because I know he won't be calling me any more. It makes my evenings a little less happy. :(</p> <p>I haven't had my 'big cry' yet. I was so busy consoling everybody else (like always) that I sort of had to push all my feelings aside. I'm sure when the time is right I'll be a wreck, but just coming to work and keeping busy is a blessing.</p> <p>I was at Dad's all last week and without a computer. Fink stayed with the kitties (Maverick is still mad at me). </p> <p>But I must tell you guys a story that made me bust out laughing:</p> <p>Sunday night, my first night back home, I fried myself a pork chop and shared with Huddy and Rocky. Huddy wasn't satisfied and kept on begging. I said to him "No more." I didn't even get my last word out when he stood on his hind legs, put his front paw on my beer glass and pulled it over. My last beer too. Then he ran away so I couldn't yell at him. I laughed so hard and it still makes me smile now to think about it. I need all the smiles I can get right about now.</p> <p>I want to take this time to let everybody know how much I appreciate the prayers, cards, hugs and kind comforting words during this really trying time. I know my dad had been sick for a long time and he was tired, but I still miss him. Even a sick dad is better than no dad. I'm an orphan now. Who will guide me and help me find my way?? </p> <p>Saturday morning (the day after the funeral) it started pouring. I mean it was raining so hard you couldn't see anything at all. I told my family, "The rain is Mom's tears of joy because Daddy is with her again."</p> <p>But it kept on raining and pretty soon, the whole intersection had flooded. Monique said: "Wow, Granny must REALLY be happy!!!"</p> <p>Laughter really is the best medicine for me right now. Again, I want to thank all of you - you guys have been a comfort, as always.</p> <p>I'll try to write more if I get on the computer tonight - but right now I have some attendance records to complete.</p> <p>Take care and Much Love,</p> <p>HM </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311#post-370664 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:49:01 +0000 GreatDane 370664@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>HM - we miss you :( </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311#post-370578 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:37:28 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 370578@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Some more {{{hugs}}} from over here - hope you're taking good care of yourself. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16311#post-370573 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:35:03 +0000 mollycat71 370573@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>HM, where are you friend?
