beautfiul post zema. i have come to realise how important my parents are to me the last few years - i think when i was a kid and a teenager my parents were people who were just there. Now they are 2 of my bestest friends in the whole world and i cant even begin to imagine them not being in my life. in fact, it stings my eyes to imagine. thanks for this reminder *hugs*  |

Aww, Zema. Here I am in my own world, just as you are, living for me, my children, my granchildren, and my parents, siblings. Many suffering from cancer, and other illness. And here I go, in the middle, and just beginning to realize my immortality, my circle of life, I know without any doubt, that it is individual in meaning, comes quite clearly at a point in life made crystal clear by our own immortality. I just hope to leave good memories, they will live on much longer than me. And that is my circle of life. I know each generation carries far more than genetics, each life leaves only as much as it gives. And I doubt its more than that. Religion doesn't play as much as whats given and whats lived. Deeds are done and thats what we are remembered for and there is our life. You have a HUGE place in the "circle of life", and you will never have any regrets or reason to feel less than that. Sometimes we must let go, but only after we have done and given all that is possible, and THAT is the circle of life... just to give as much love, and remembrance, and care that we can to each other..  |

It is 3 a.m. and I just finished watching "Stepmom". What an awesome movie and what a super post. Your words speak such truth Zema. We never know what time we have here, but to know that families are forever gives one comfort. Thank you for sharing.  |

Zema this is such a true post. I tell my parents each day that I love them and how much they mean to me. I only have one set of parents, and I treasure each and every day with them. Hugs to you and your mum! Be Good...  |

hi Zema , my parents are in very poor health to , both of them have alzimers and they just found a large tumer in my moms stomache. she is in her 80s and in good spirits. my grandparents were 104 and 105 when my grand mother passed and my grand father took his life the same day. they were together for 82 years so he could not fathom life without her. cherish your mom each day and give her a hug from me. lovinghugs , wooden nickel  |

Great post, Zema. I remember a few days after my brother died in '97, everyone in my family said how they would start to treat each other better. Sure, that lasted for a few weeks, but it went back to normal after a while. I've always thought that it's very important to tell your family and friends just how much you love and appreciate them. I tell my mom I love her all of the time, but not to any one else. Like I've told you before, my mom is 63 and my dad is 72... while I'm 19. Even when I was in grade school, I was worrying about how one of them would die or both and I'd have to live with one of my sisters. The sad truth is: you never really realize how much you love someone, until they're gone.  |
