Hi Maureen. Again you have made me feel better. My dear dad and I used to laugh and joke ALL the time and now even 17months later I can still laugh with him- I just have to think of him and remember all those funny times we had- even up till 1 week before he passed we were still laughing at jokes together. And I think that is what gets me through now. I thank God everyday for sending you into my life as you are an inspiration to me. God bless. Chris

Chris it’s one thing so many have trouble doing….laughing. It’s such a relief for the soul and a salve for the heart. How wonderful you can bring those beautiful and funny times so easily to mind, what a blessing your Dad has given you. Thanks for your lovely comments x

My mom passed away on Jan. 7th. We were really close. I was her primary caretaker thru her 5 month battle with stage 4 lung cancer and lived with her. She was in great spirits throughout her time of illness. We tried to make the best of the time, went to see movies, went shopping, did as much as her health would allow us.  Since she passed away, I've been struggling beyond measure with depression, grief, etc. I would give anything to just have a huge, hearty laugh right now. I feel like I haven't laughed since my beautiful mom passed. She would not be very pleased with me because she loved to laugh and did it all the time. I just want to be happy and laugh again!

My son loved to make people laugh……laughing is a good release. but I do find sometimes I feel guilty for being happy. I want to move forward and I feel I can with God's word and love the people that surround me and sites like these. I can honor my sons life at the same time. I will always have a missing piece of my heart gone forever. I love and miss you Eric my dear son. always mom
