Being around people does help tremendously, there will be times when you miss her so much--but at least you know she will be in heaven with Jesus and you will have a reunion with her some day! Praise God!

Jeanie, that's so sobering. That's how old I am right now. I can't imagine if I died and left my boys behind. How devastating. You couldn't have been very old when your Mom passed either. I'm sure it was hard. Were you married to Keith yet?
My dad died in January of 1993. He was 58 years old. That was too young too. We had only had Justin with us for 6 months when we lost my dad. It was so sad to know that my son would never get the chance to know what a wonderful man his grandpa was. But then we adopted our second son 2 years later - and that boy is my dad re-created! Seriously! Cut from the same exact cloth. He likes the same foods my dad liked, likes to do the same things my dad liked to do, enjoyed the same kinds of activities my dad liked, has the same kind of personality my dad had and gets in the same kinds of trouble my dad used to get into. It's uncanny!
