Been away for a while

Chris_WebMD_Staff posted:

[TRIGGER] Hi all,

I've been gone for a bit. I know you have been in good hands, and I have missed you.

I wanted to share with you that I lost my Mom over a week ago. I hope this news doesn't trigger anyone.
She was a very young 77 year old, and died very unexpectedly.
I'm grateful that it was quick and she didn't suffer, but I'm not sure we are ever ready for something like this.
I wanted to share this with you all as you are like a family to me.

I'm glad to be back and working on finding my inner strength.

Chrissy~

Life is too short, so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly.

Oh Chris Honey, I kinda figured something had happened. Im so very sorry about your mother. No matter what age a family member is, its always too young when they pass away. Its always too soon. She lives on in your memory and in your heart. Again, Im so sorry.

As you may know my step mother has cancer and so far she is doing well. She has a few more chemo's and then she will be tested and she should have the results next month.

Me and my step mother were never close and I was angry at her for a very long time. I was not well treated as a child. When I found out she had cancer, I realized how much I loved her. It actually surprised me. Anyways, I hope you dont mind that I shared that with you. I know that you understand my fear.

Please take care of yourself honey, I dont want you to get ill because of stress and or lack of sleep. Love and hugs to you, my dear dear friend.
