BusyMom, I am so sorry to hear about your mother. You're an inspiration with your gracious and upbeat manner through such a trying time. Your family is in my thoughts.

i see your right sidebar.. it's there for me.
so sorry about your mom. hang in there. hugs

Glad to hear you're coping. And your sense of humour is remarkable; it will help you get through all this.

"Making arrangements" is a bit of a Godsend, too, isn't it? Being able to focus on those details will get you through these first few days.

Your dad is lucky to have you. How is he doing?

You're in my thoughts.

Busymom,

I agree with the others - you are a remarkable person, even in trying times like these. Hang in there - you have a lot of people in cyberspace pulling for you and your family.

Best regards,

Bob

Oops, forgot to add - I sort of see your right sidebar, but didn't you have links to your archives, and/or a way to search through old posts? They seem to have dissapeared from my screen.

I see the right sidebar...Hang in there...I remember it well..

Sorry to hear about your mom, at least she went peacefully. That was a comforting thing for me with my dad.

I don't have the right sidebar myself. Who took the keys??

Thinking of you with all the things you have to do right now.

My condolences to your family. Coping with the loss of a parent is rough though fortunately sometimes the roughest parts aren't even visible until they have passed. And there always seems to be so much to handle, from phone calls to large and minor details.

Take care and best to you and your family.

I see no right sidebar. Maybe I stole it for my new blog! wink! wink! Hope you're feeling good today!much love and many hugs!

Hey Lady-
I'm not only missing your right sidebar, but your header, too, with your cute cartoon likeness. Just thought you might want to know. Continuing to pray.

i'm so sorry for your loss.

(of your mother, though it is odd that the sidebar has gone too)

Hang in there - I hope you and your family have a sense of peace today.

Your side bar is there for me, but I think some of the stuff is "broken"...you know what I mean.

I'm sorry about your mother. I'm relieved that it was peaceful and you're doing okay. I'll keep you and her in my prayers.

Wish I could do more, but please know that I continue to keep you and yours in my prayers. That, I can definitely do. And cry for the loss of someone who MUST, having raised the phenomenon that is you, just MUST have been a truly amazing, loving, and special individual.

I hope that my truly amazing father has already introduced himself and is helping to show her around. Maybe she can explain blogging to him.

I am so sorry for your loss. I wish you and your family all the best.

Though your header is there, I see no sidebar...

I know it wasn't a surprise, but I'm sure it hurts just the same...
Wishing you and your family peace during the days ahead.

I'm so sorry about your mom. Our thoughts are with you.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I know I can say on behalf of all of us Bella girls that you are in our thoughts, and hope that you and your family are doing ok.

Tough break, Mom. Sending you Internet hugs and solace.

Your right sidebar has escaped me, too. But look for it later after the hubbub. Lots of other things to do now. I am really sorry.

I see no bars, right side or top. Got the commercials on the left.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.

Thoughts are with you!

*HUGS* I see your sidebar, just not any graphics! I'm off to read the blog now....

I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I am glad she passed peacefully as you said. I have been reading your blog for a long time and want you to know you were such a devoted daughter.

I'm so sorry about your Mom! With just how fabulous your internet presence is, we can all assume that your mother was a very cool lady. You and your family are in my prayers.

BTW - I see your right sidebar!

My sincere condolences on the loss of your Mother.

When my sister died I hated it when people said, "I'm sorry." The natural reaction to that phrase is "it's okay," or "thank you." It certainly wans't okay and I got really stinkin' sick of thanking people for being sorry.

So, I'm just going to wish you luck in your recovery and tell you that I"m thinking of you.

The sidebar is back but you are still missing.

i was so terribly sorry to hear of your loss... and our hearts are heavy for you and your family. i know your mother's death was not unexpected, but i'm guessing it still comes as a shock to realize she is truly gone. i know you miss her... and always will.

rest well, Busymom, you were/are a wonderful and loving daughter... and i have no doubt your mother adored you for every beautiful quality you possess, (and maybe a few you don't)! i suspect she was very proud of you, too, and for good reason! you have honored her well.

with all our love and heartfelt prayers... Neva & Joel xoxo

Sorry to hear about your loss. I'm praying for God to comfort you and your family in this time. It's nice to see that you still have a sense of humor through it all. I enjoy reading your blog and I love the artwork.
