Thinking of you this Mother's Day, Phoenix. Never doubt that you are an amazing mom, and your girls and DS are lucky to have you!

Thinking of you and sending you hugs!

Thank you everyone.

A truly bittersweet day. Enjoyed it with my DDs, but miss my DS something awful. DD22 left me flowers at work on Friday, secretly, with a card from DS saying "I will always love you, mom!" Turned me into a blubbering mess, as I am right now just thinking about it. So incredibly sweet of her. They also signed his name in their card to me.

The girls and I successfully passed our motorcycle training, and DS was with me as I did use his helmet and trained/tested on a bike just like his. His bike will be here within the month and I plan to keep practicing on it to become proficient, just as he and I planned to do when he was to come home in July. Doing this has become a tribute to him now because of his passion for it. I want to live up to our plans and make him proud.

This has been a tough start to the month with his birthday and Mother's Day so close, but I made it thru. My heart is still so heavy and sad.

More military stuff and attorney stuff to deal with this week, as well as DD17's graduation. *sigh*

Happy Mother's Day to all of you that have provided me such incredible support these past horrific weeks!

I still can't come up with any words. Just know I'm holding you in my thoughts.

It is not surprising to "see" you have amazingly sweet DDs. They have one of the best examples I have come to know, virtual or not.

There was no doubt you would pass that test. DS was with you all the way. What a great tribute to him for you to keep your plans.

I cannot imagine how heavy your heart must have been today, but I do want to send my sincere "Happy Mothers Day" to you.

Sending prayers and hugs to you today.

I haven't been on here much in the last few months and just today read up on everything. I live about 100 miles from the mudslide and have listened and watched a lot of the coverage here. I've seen the interviews and from your descriptions, read about your brother and SIL, and your son.

I'm so very sorry for all your losses with family. I'm thinking of you and sending hugs.

I know you don't know me, but if you need any help, please let me know.

Been thinking about you a lot today Phoenix1. Sending hugs and love.

Thinking of you. (((Phoenix)))

Phoenix, just wanted to wish you belated Mother's Day wishes. I'm so glad that your day went well and you went ahead with the motorbike course. I believe truly that your darling DS was with you.

Your last few posts have been so strong, amazing for a woman that has been through so much in such a short time. I truly admire you along with everyone else, your are a true inspiration.

I'm glad that you are going to continue with your plans to keep riding DS's bike and I think that is a great tribute to him. Your poems for both him and your brother are truly beautiful and heartfelt and brought tears to my eyes.

I hope your daughter gets through her graduation after everything she has been through too. I can't believe the sadness you and your family have had to endure.

Sending you much love and keeping you in my prayers. I wish there was more we could do for you. God Bless you Phoenix xxx

You are the epitome of strength and grace under tremendous burdens. I pray for your continued strength as well as comfort and peace everyday.

Sending prayers and hugs to you for today.

I'm so impressed you passed your class. I've always wanted to learn but I'm so scared to do it!

((phoenix))

you are are amazing and it seems like your daughters are just like you.

Still thinking of you Phoenix. Congrats to you and your girls for passing the test. That's quite a tribute.

You are one truly incredible woman. You have demonstrated amazing strength, grace, and dignity through the most difficult series of losses imaginable. I wish you continued strength and eventual peace. Some time away later in the summer sounds much needed and deserved.

I think it is fantastic that you and your DDs went ahead and took the motorcycle class. Good for you! I can only imagine your DS is smiling down on you from heaven.

Sending you positive thoughts and many many prayers.

Sending your hugs and prayers for today.

Hope you are beginning to be able to take a deep breath now and then.

Huge ((HUGS)) to you

Having some incredibly rough days. The legal turmoil isn't any better, and I am having to make some tough emotional decisions that are weighing very heavily on me. It just feels like the ton of bricks on my back don't seem to get any lighter. And, unfortunately, since my "trust" ability was destroyed by ex, I don't feel comfortable discussing any of this with anyone.

Went on a long bicycle ride last night to try to clear my mind. Rode to fatigue. Was hoping that would help, and it did for a short time, but it ultimately just made me tired and still emotionally miserable. Discussed one decision aspect with my father and SIL's family to get their thoughts and support on my actions (which they fully support), but it still doesn't make taking the steps any easier emotionally.

It is boiling down to "doing what is morally right vs. doing the right thing." May seem like semantics, but there IS a difference, and I am smack dab in the middle on a couple of different fronts, with the ultimate decisions resting solely with me.

Wish just one of those bricks on my back would get lifted off...

Wishing that for you as well... big time. Thinking of you.
