mommie

hello again.

thank you all so very much for the kind emails.

they have made my day just a little easier to get by

they brought me smiles and tears.

good tears.

from the bottom of my heart.

nick and i thank you.

its been very hard for us. we try each day just to get through.

its been hard for me lately. don't know why but it seems like its starting to sink in.

seeming to sink in deeper and deeper each day.

i was just going through all the boxes i have of her stuff.

our memmories of her

i tried to keep everything of hers as i could but than after 4 cars  full.

i knew that i couldn't take it all with me

she was my hero and best freind.

that one person i could talk to about anything anytime.

i miss her voice and her hugs the most.

sometimes i just want to give up but she would never let me crumble.

i hope i can come out even half as good as the women she was.

i live each day for her.

 

i love you mom

and will talk to you tonight in my dreams.

 

 

i am going to try to keep this journal and add to it. for her.

but im not all too sure how.

haha. she always wanted me to have one// go one it with her.

but it seemed outdated for me. boy was i wrong.

help. would be nice=]

thank you again.

Oh....sweet child...you are in my thoughts so much....My heart goes out to you....you are right your mother was a great woman....and she lives on through you and Nick...She was so proud of both of you....I don't think you will ever get over the loss of your mother...but because she is part of you...you will set your sail and live life to the fullest because that is all she longed for...In you her beauty will shine...when you look to the heavens you will feel her...she will never leave you...it is impossible for a mother to do...when times get hard...close your eyes and feel her embrass....she is there...let her fill you up with her love...and get through each day the best you can...continue to make her proud...If ever you need help...do...do do...give me a shout...You know your mother was trying really hard to go through her stuff...so that you would not have too...it is hard to let go of things...but as you said four car loads later...I can tell you as a mother who has a daughter a few years older than you, a son 11 and one who is only 4...the thing I think about if I were to leave...is that they know how much I love them...and that they would feel my love each day...and when times are hard and they feel like breaking to take a deep breath and just feel my arms around them...she is there...I wish I could reach right through this computer and hug you!!!!!  Make her proud kid...make her proud...Live, love and when you can laugh!...TerryAnn

I think this is a great tribute from you for your mother!  She would be happy you've chosen to continue writing at her place...

You mother has a beautiful spirit that resonated throughout this little community of ours.  She is still missed daily here, too.

If you look through the archives of her journals (this one and the non-
UK blog), you may find her voice entries... she did several, I believe :)

I really wish I could help you on the hugs part, too!  The best I can do is a virtual one {{{ }}}

I, among many, will try and help as much as possible.  If writing here will help ease your suffering, then please... continue... and you'll come to find as much love as you want.  

Hang in there, Christina (and Nick)

Sweet girl...thank you for writing here.  I was so shocked to see an alert on my bloglines for a new entry on Pam's journal.  I was hoping it wasn't someone saying, "thanks, everyone...but now we have to  shut this journal down because it's just too painful."

Do continue writing here.  It will be your Mom's sweet legacy.  And it may help you to write about your feelings of missing her, here among a great many of us who miss her, too.

 It is so hard to lose your mother.  Over the years the memories will become less painful to re-live.  Writing in the journal will help.  It has been 26 years since my mother passed away and I still miss her but I can think about her and smile remembering some funny thing she used to do and look forward to seeing her someday.  Come often when you just need to write down your thoughts.

Your mom was one fabulous, witty, smart, woman.  And we know from this very journal how very proud she was of you and Nick.  She loved you both as deeply as any momma could.  She would be so touched...and so pleased to know that you want to keep her journal going.  There are a lot of us out here who just thought the world of your mom.  And it help US when we hear a bit of her voice through you.  Thank YOU sweetheart, for helping to ease the sadness we all feel missing your mom.  She was just the best.  And you are too!

Your mom was a strong, caring, remarkable woman and I'm sure that's how you grew up the same way!  Your mom was also very inspirational during her illness and in that inspiration she would always mention Chemo Angels and how her "angels" had brightened her life.  After your mom passed away, I became a Chemo Angel myself in her honor.  I hope I can bring sunshine to others because I know thats what your mom would want.

I can't imagine the pain you are feeling.  I lost my dad 6 years ago (also to cancer) and it was one of the hardest things I have ever gone through but I was almost 40 years old at the time.  You are a young girl and it just doesn't seem fair that you should have to grow up without your mom.  

I want you to know that there are alot of "moms" on this board and we would all be more than happy to "adopt" you in any way we can.   Maybe instead of "Chemo Angels" we can become your "Mom Angels."  I think your mom would like that too.

So, that being said, could you email me privately and send me your home address?  I would like to be your "Mom Angel" if that is OK with you.

If any other moms out there are reading this, feel free to join me!

I was just new to your mom's journal when she passed. I didn't know her that well. I'm so very sorry for you. She sounded like a wonderful woman. I read all the responses and they were awesome. Hugs to you and your family.

I adored your Mom, she was such a dear and trusted soul. Did you ever see a Pooh figurine in her house? That was something I sent her that gave us both many laughs...she would send me silly little e-mails about what Pooh was thinking that day, she had the most delightful sense of humor.
I'm on a weight loss journey and she was my greatest supporter....before she got so bad there at the end, in the  midst of her suffering I would sign on and find a "be strong today" or "you can do this" e-mail or card waiting for me. Not to mention the notes I got by snail mail....they will hang on my fridge forever.

I miss your Mom so much and I only knew her for a short time....I can't even begin to imagine the pain, suffering and the empty hole in your life. You are so right about her not wanting you to crumble.....she wanted EVERYTHING for you and Nick. You both were her joy and her reason for fighting, she was so proud of the young adults you had grown to be and had so much hope for your future.

My prayers have been with you every day and I have been sending good thoughts
and hugs your way. This meant so much....to hear from you and to know that you are doing somewhat okay, I have been worried and many times have wondered how things were going.

Please know I'm here for you at any time you want to talk or vent or anything else, I have a 23 year old daughter that I love so much also and guess what? She was born premature like you....your Mom and I shared that bond and appreciated that each other knew the exact pain and fear we went through during that time in your tiny lives. Please contact me anytime.....anytime.

God Bless you Sweetie....

Pooh Hugs,

I've been following your mom's journal for the past year. She gave me a lot of inspiration to get through my issues. I'm so sad to hear about her passing, she meant a lot to all of us, even if we never met her in person.
Please dont give in, your mom has so much love for you and your brother and wants nothing but the best for both of you.
We'll all be here for you, all you have to do is write what you feel, good or bad.

I feel like I was reading my own words and thoughts after my own mom had passed away.  I just wanted to be half the woman she was, my mom was my best friend, my hero.  She lives on in my dreams just as your mom will live on in your dreams.  Enjoy those times when she visits you in those dreams - embrace her, embrace the love she has for you!  If you ever need someone to talk to, we are here.  You can e-mail me if you ever like.

Sweetie, I think you are already quite a young lady.  I think continuing your mom's journal would be good for you, and there is no end to the amount of help you'll be offered from your mom's loyal readers.  She always wrote so lovingly of you and in the pictures of the two of you together it was plain how proud she was of you.  I lost my dad four years ago, and I still have bad days occasionally, but it does get easier in time.  I think all of us are glad to hear from you, and we appreciate your honesty in letting us know how you are doing.  Hope we hear from you again really soon.

Oh, sweetie.. your mom would be proud to know that you felt you could come to her Jland friends and vent your feelings.  She really was a hero, you know?  To all of us.  We hung on her every word, and looked forward to her every entry.  She was such a strong woman who didn't know the meaning of the word "give up."  It's something she never did.  She was a fighter, and she loved you and your brother so much.  If you've gone back and read her entries, you'll see how much she talked about you two, and you were both her world.  She is still with you, watching over you, and comforting you.. whether you can feel it right now or not.  

You keep writing and we'll keep reading, sweetie.  We will be here for you, just like we were for your mom.

Pam had such a beautiful spirit, and she is very missed here in Jland..

I just came by after several months and was glad to see you
decided to drop by also.  I also just lost my mom to lung cancer on 5/11/06.  And it also seems, as someone else wrote about her mom, that after about this time frame, it is all just now hitting me that this is real.  I seem to suddenly be consumed with thinking about my mother and everything about her.  When I had read that your mom had passed away, I felt devastated.  I began reading her journal last year, just when she was diagnosed.  She was an amazing and inspiring woman.  She gave me hope...for all that my own mother was also going through at the time.   I know just how you feel honey.  There are times that I feel like there is no point in being here anymore.  But I have a 6 year old daughter and I know that she needs me.
These are very sad days for us, but I truly believe our mothers are with us still.
Take care or yourself and continue to feel your mothers love.   Sherrie

Pam,
Well, Labor Day has just passed and the smell of
Fall is in the air.  It's so lonely here in J-Land
without you.  I hope you are basking in the sunshine,
listening to the birds sing...
Love,
Connie

So, so very sorry for your loss.  I think of your mom often.  I do hope you can continue her journal, Kissy.  You are a wonderful woman, honey.   I am sure your Mama is up there pulling for you in every way possible.  All of us in J-Land love you and her.  xox

We never get to the point when we don't need our parents anymore. I lost my Dad when I was 16, he was 41. I hold onto my Mother for dear life even now when I am 43 years of age. You come from good stock and I am sure your Mother, our friend Pam is smiling down on you and looks forward to every one of your dream visits! I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer a little over a month and a half ago. I lost my left Breast but not my fighting spirit. Your Mother's words and kindness guide my new journey.

Hi there, fellow nominee...

I'd just like to congratulate you on becoming a nominee for the, '2006 Vivi Awards' and wish you the very best of luck on voting day. I know how excited you must be, because I too was voted for, in the 'Best Video Blog' catagory.

If you want to see exactly how excited I was, check out my video response here:

http://journals.aol.co.uk/davethesod/mish-mash/entries/677

As my blog is less than one month old and it doesn't have very many viewers yet, perhaps you could help me out and increase my chances come voting day, by sharing the link to my blog with all of your friends. If you could do that for me, I'd be ever so grateful.

Here it is...

http://journals.aol.co.uk/davethesod/mish-mash/

Once again, all the best and good luck with the votes on, 2nd November...

Pam, miss you and love you.  Glad you were nominated for a VIVI this year.  You are still with us as your witness lives on.

For some reason an alert from this Journal showed up in my Bloglines today.... and got me thinking about Pam. It was for an entry that she made with 'chemo brain' and it reminded me of how positive she was about everything, no matter what....

Anyway, I'm just missing her prescence today......

Only goes to show how much of an inspiration Pam continues to be, even 7 months after she passed on. She won't be forgotten.

Christina,

I have been making a few entries this month about your mom.  November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.  I couldn't let the month pass without remember her and how brave she was.

Thanksgiving is almost here.  I know this will be a sad one for you and your family.  I read her entry from last Thanksgiving.  She was so very happy to have you home and to get a call from your brother.

Pictures seem to be disappering from this journal.  I hope they will show back up.  I hope the journal will stay up forever.

iv just read ur blog and am ashamed to say iv just started my own blog about being bored and moaning about having nothin to do-i have a 4yr old son and another on the way(in about 8 wks) i should be thanking my lucky stars not moaning that life is crap,cos some people would probably give anything to have a family or not be alone or whatever  makes people happy which after reading ur blog iv realised it is most likely to be family that make people happy,sad,angry and even upset but i think they are  just the emotions that are part and parcel that come with being in a family unit and we should never want it to be any different,after all,life would be so boring if things were rosy all the time-as people say its beter to no how to love someone and then loose it, than not to know how to love at all. i hope you find comfort in remembering good times even though they have been cut short at least you got to have them -hope you agree-i look forward to checking in and reading your thoughts. SUZI :-)

Your Mum will never be forgotten.  She was muched loved here in J-Land.  I never thought I would be fighting my own battle against cancer less than a year after her passing.  She was an inspiration.  I hope I have her strength to get me through.  Pam will never be forgotten.  I am glad you wish to carry on her journal, she would be very happy about that and so proud of you.

Pam, you're on my mind today.  I had a stray dog adventure over the last couple of days and I was thinking about your animal shelter stories.  Don't worry....we got him reunited with his family.

Did you guide Jack here because you KNEW I wouldn't let him spend a night out in the cold?

Love you Pam.

Rarely far from my  mind.  I finally kicked that nasty habit and I'd like to let you know Pam that you, and the way you fought and the life you lived and the example you set is what got me to finally get through the process.  Rest in Peace. You are missed.

Anonymous said...

Pam,
Miss you so much.  I still have all the dogs, and probably a few more, and I still have the cats.  All the bitchin and moaning my family does about all my animals still hasn't swayed my devotion to them all.  
I hope your happy in that beautiful place...
Love you always girl,

OMG, I am in absolute shock. I am JUST NOW discovering this very tragic news. Pam and I haven't been in touch for years, but I was going to be in the Bay Area for business next month and I figured I'd look her up. Only now do I discover that she is gone. I still can't believe it.

Pam and I had a relationship that ended about 10 years ago. We started out as an online romance which evolved into me picking up my life on the east coast and moving out west to be together. I was welcomed into her home by her awesome children Nick and Christina (I think they were around 12 and 7 at the time). We had a lot of good times together during those brief couple years, but as with many a relationship, the time had come to go our separate ways. It was not a bad ending by any means, I had simply come to a crossroads in my life and had to continue down a different path.

We did see each other about 5 years ago, but have been out of touch since then. I now find myself scouring through her blog entries and reading about her trials and tribulations over the past few years. Needless to say, I am very depressed right now.

I am still on the west coast (San Diego), and I will always be grateful for Pam, not only for the love we shared during that time, but also for helping me establish my new life in California.

Nick and Christina, if you see this and still remember me, please know that my thoughts are with you. God be with you Pam, I will never forget you...

Love Always,
Andy

Still thinking of you girl.  I so miss you being here.  I can't believe it has been almost 2 years?

Christina I hope you still check by and read the comments left here.  I keep hoping you will take journaling here up.  Hope you and your brother are doing fine.  He should be graduting from college soon right?  And you should soon be starting I bet.

Still can't believe your gone dear Pam.  Found out earlier tonight that Lahoma has passed too.  I miss your entries so much.  I miss your wit, and your precious heart.  You were so encouraging, and you fought so hard.  We will never know until we get to that heavenly place just what God's plan is for taking away some people so soon in life.  We will all know one day when we get there, and when I join you some day I will just have to hug you and squeeze the dickens out of you.  You are missed every day, and by so many...
Love always,
