May 21st,1992 was hands down the worst day of my life.
It was the day I lost this incredible woman.![mom[1][2]](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_P-ofW-b3u1g/TdfjaiBOFBI/AAAAAAAAGHI/4bBv-b5DNVQ/s1600-h/mom%5B1%5D%5B2%5D%5B2%5D.png "mom[1][2]")
My beautiful Mom.
I’m not usually a big fan of Oprah, but admittedly I’ve got sucked into her final season hoopla. I saw this story this week, and it completely moved me. I sobbed on uncontrollably, at wished that I had grown up with my Mom.
She never got to teach me about make-up. She never got to give me advice about choosing a husband. She missed all of the milestones in my life. And that makes me so sad.
But, I like to think that I have made her proud of the woman I have become.
I write this post with tears in my eyes, but today I’m going smile and enjoy the wonderful life that I have. That’s what she would want. I’m certain of it.
It’s been 19 years, but I miss her every. single. day.

Amy my heart breaks for you and all the ladies that lost their mothers far too early in life.

I'm sorry you lost your mom so young Amy. I can only imagine how difficult that is. I am sure your mom would be proud of the woman you are. ((Big Hugs))
I'm so sorry. Nineteen years seems like a long time ago, yet I'm sure it feels like yesterday too. I'm positive your mom would love and be proud of the woman you've become.
Amy, my heart also breaks for you and for all the ladies who have lost their mothers while they were little.. Thank you so much for sharing this video of Erin.. What she did for her daughter is really an inspiration for many of the mother's out there who may be on the same journey path of life that Erin was on.. leaving little one's behind.
I am quite sure that your Mom would be so proud of the woman you have become Amy. xo
Blessings,

So sorry about your mom. You were way too young to lose her. She was way too young. I am sure your mom would be proud. Hold her in your heart today and live with joy!
*hugs* My heart truly breaks for you Amy. I can't even imagine what it must have been like for you growing up with out her.
You are an amazing woman and I'm sure one she'd be damn proud of!
*hugs*
You are very strong to be able to post that. I can only hope that in 19 years I will be able to share the strength and hope you have given to me.
Aw, sweetie. I am so sorry. ((hugs))
I wish there was something I could say that would make you feel better, but of course, there isn't.....you are such a strong, inspiring person and there are so many of us who have lost our moms (much later in life) who look to you as an example of someone who has been through it and came out the other side.
I cried reading this, because I'm picturing the 19 years younger you having to do what I did at 27, and I can't even imagine how that felt. Then I think about my almost 4 year old and can't imagine knowing that I'd be leaving her, no matter how old she was.
Just know that it's not just words when I say I'm thinking about you....today, I've been thinking about you since I read this. I didn't have it in me to come back to your blog and read this again and comment until now.
Big, big hugs....
Aw sweetie, I didn't even see this post until now. She is 100% proud of the woman you have become guaranteed. I don't think she missed a thing, I know she's there ;-)
I don't know why I didn't see this post earlier. My mom will be gone 18 years at the end of this month. I too saw that Oprah show as well and just sat there in tears thinking about all the milestones that she misses as well. I sat there holding my baby girl in my arms thinking about my fate and just wishing to the heavens that I would be there for her.
I know your mom would be proud of the woman you have become.
Sending great big hugs your way!
