[QUOTE="Lil, post: 638254, member: 17309"] My mom and I were very close. I just adored her. I loved dad too, but differently. They were "older" parents - especially for the 1960's. They were 36 and 52 when I was born so they were of the "Mom nurtures, Dad is the breadwinner" school of parenting. Dad was very loving and even demonstrative, but Mom was the one who was just always there. I was such a Mama's girl that I had a high school teacher tell me I'd never make it in college because I couldn't be away from home. Proved them wrong in a big way! :) But yeah, losing her so young has been hard. When times are especially good (wedding, birth of my son) or bad (right now) I miss her most. Wow that rings true...but for me it's my son. I miss him, but I miss the son I [I]want[/I], not the son I [I]have[/I]. [/QUOTE]
