Sharon When I was 8 my natural mom had to be institutionalized for mental problems. When I was 9 my Dad remarried and I had a step-mom. I was made to call her Momma and I resented that and losing my Mom. I hated my step mom. But I grew to love her! I lost my late husband March 16th,2003,on Mother's Day I wound in ICU in respiratory failure from a very rare heart virus and they thought I would die,on Memorial Day May 31st we admitted Mom to the hospital....she came home on hospice care for Pancreatic Cancer June 1oth....I took care of her and on July 10th the Lord graciously removed her from her pain. I will miss her all the days of my life. My natural mother died in 81 to endocarditis. Hugs,Mare

My own mother was a terror - that's all I'll say about that. When imom told me to call her "mom," I couldn't do it. Just saying the word "mom" brings up way too many images I'd rather not remember. So I called her Mama for the longest time. She's the mother I'd always dreamed of having.

My imom is a WONDERFUL woman I met on the internet. She sort of adopted me - she calls me her internet daughter, and I call her my imom (internet mom). She has been suffering with rheumatoid arthritis for many, many years. On July 19, imom was rushed to the hospital. Turned out she had an infection in her blood, a urinary tract infection, and she was in septic shock. She's been pretty much holding her own with the massive doses of steroids and antibiotics they are giving her. But yesterday the drs discovered a bleeding ulcer. She was taken off her heart med (a blood thinner) because it could have caused her to bleed to death. Then, shortly after stopping her heart med, she had a heart attack. So now she's in ICU. I'm scared to death of losing her!! Please!! Please pray for her!!!! I'm torn because I desperately don't want to lose her, but I also know that if she survives, she will continue to live her life in terrible pain every minute of every day. So I'm leaving it in God's hands and will accept His will. Thanks for listening!! Sharon and Katie
