Di, good memories are a blessing no matter what they are of. Keep your memories alive, they should comfort you not haunt you. You made these memories, lived them, and thats a good thing. So many of the women here are haunted by BAD memories of childhood, so consider yourself blessed with these wonderful warm memories of your mom.



Oh, thank you Chatty! I needed to hear this!! I've just felt that not getting "over" mom dying has been something odd and juvenile which has hindered my "growing up". But now that I read what you said about it being GOOD memories that I should embrace instead of feeling they "haunt" me..I do feel much better about it.

I just wonder, though, why I recall such details as what was written on the blackboard in the first grade! Or where I sat in the fifth grade; or that myself and classmate in the fifth grade tied with the most 100's on our spelling tests; or the streets on which my fellow classmates lived.

You're right: There are many who recall bad stuff....I know friends w/in my circle AND here at BWS.
