  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Deep in my heart, a young voice still cries out, "I want my mommy!"

I was 13 when she died. She was 49. She was diabetic, type II, and chronically depressed. She couldn't take proper care of me, and after divorcing my dad, married a sexually abusive man.

My mom loved me the best she could. I still miss her so much. It feels like my heart is breaking in two. I know it's been 4 years so I should be "over it" but I've had such a broken past and never really grieved. And it hurts so much.

Rest in Peace, Mom.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I cannot imagine what you are going through. Don't think you'll "get over it", you never will. She was your mother. You'll always think of her and miss her immensely. My heart goes out to you. Praying for you.

Blessed be your mother's memory.

God Bless.

Today would have been my mother's 67th Birthday. She passed away on February 2nd, 2007. Her cause of death was End Stage Renal Failure.

On Wednesday, January 24th, she began bleeding from her shunt. It was like a faucet that I could not turn off. Luckily, I was there at the house when this happened.

She was taken to the ER and spent two days in the hospital. She arrived home on Friday. On Sunday morning she woke up early and took a shower. I asked her where she was going and she said she was not going anywhere, that she had just felt like taking a shower and getting dressed up. I asked her, Well, if you've already taken a shower, got dressed up with nowhere to go, why don't you go with me to church? And she thought about it for a couple of seconds and then said yes!

Well, the sermon that day at church was "Are you ready to meet God?" Oh thank you Lord for speaking to my mother and letting her know you were coming for her and that she needed to prepare to meet her Creator.

On Friday, February 2nd, my mother began bleeding from her shunt again. Thank God I was there at the house when it happened. She bled so much and went into shock. As I was doing chest-compressions on her, I knew there was no turning back now. I knew it was her last day.

She was taken to the ER where she passed on at 8:20 a.m.

It's been three months since her death and the Lord has provided peace and comfort.

So I just wanted to say Happy Birthday Mom!

In Christ,
~Your Only Daughter~
