I just received an email from Gaston, Nicole's boyfriend, who told me that their mother passed away this morning. She's been ill for a long long time. I don't know if Gina is still in Paris or not. That's all I know for now, but wanted to let everyone here know.
These two girls have had some real hardships in the last year or two. Prayers going out to both of them.

I will keep them both in my prayers tonight. I have lost parents in both ways long term and sudden. Both situations stinks. I do hope for you that there will come a day as did myself that you can think of this person and smile again.

Thanks so much y'all! Me & G are really touched by all the care and concern we've received. No doubt about who our friends are! We've known mama was gonna die for a while now, but it still seemed sudden, and came as a shock anyway. She seemed fine at Thanksgiving. Ricky, my 13 year old, called me at work and told me. That's what gets me...poor kid. He just lost his daddy last year, and now his granny. To him, his two best friends in the world. Ricky was always mama's baby. She really thought the world of that boy.  I aint gonna lie y'all, it's hard. We're all tore up with guilt and the "I shouldas" . I'll just say that a good bit of mama's health problems were self-induced. She wouldn't like me tellin' it, but it's the truth. She was an alcoholic, and it was hard to watch what she was doin' to herself, though we'd done everything in our power to make her stop. Nothing worked, and we couldn't even figure out where the hell she was gettin' it from. She could hardly walk! Anyway... I loved her dearly, but we had issues, and I dit'n always take her seriously, or pay as much attention as I should have, because I let my own pride get in the way. I guess I was angry at her for bein' sick...mad at her for drinking again. She'd quit for many months, and had only started back a week and a half ago. It killed her that quick. Her liver was just in too bad of shape, and she died in her sleep early yesterday morning. My grandaddy got up and made coffee and went to wake her up, but she was already gone bye bye...Bless her heart. People are tellin' me, "don't blame yourself" and things like that, and I know what they're sayin'...you can't change anybody who doesn't wanna change. It just aint gonna happen. But Lord knows we tried! And mama tried to, she really did. But she just wasn't strong enough in the end. In a way, we think she might've even wanted to die. She had a lot of health problems, and hurt real bad all the time. Plus, she had a lot of personal issues that bothered her a lot. It's just real sad y'all. Three things I can say about mama though, and G can tell ya it's gospel... 1. She was always honest. 2. That woman was NOT afraid of hard work! and 3. She dit'n take no crap off'a NOBODY! (lol...G takes after her real good on the number 3 there...)  And I hope we've both made mama real proud on the other two things as well. She always set a good example for us. Anyway, I guess the thing I really wanna say is............ I feel bad, coz I dit'n get to say Goodbye to her "proper like" ya know? She dit'n like to talk about stuff like that. G feels bad too. Pop too. We just a bad feelin' bunch over here...  I mean, she knew we loved her, we told her all the time. And we know we'll see her again, but it's still hard, and I'm sure it's natural to feel guilt when a loved one dies. But it still hurts.  That's why it's important to say your I love yous now. Say it today, coz you just never know...None of us are promised tomorrow. I know it sounds cliche' and y'all prolly hear it all the time, but it's so true. Even if I'd known the exact date, I still couldn't have prepared for it. It' s just hard. But listen y'all...We appreciate y'all bein' so sweet and thinkin' about us. Thanks for all your kind words and concern. Like I said, we know who our friends are. Y'all are too sweet! Thanks again & we love ya! your lil buddies, ~Queenie & The G~And for Mama:  We miss you... |

Nicole you're not alone on how you feel about your mom....I understand all too well how that swinging door is....sure is hard to explain it I know...you did good. I'm going through the exact same thing with my mom . It's taking its toll. You're sad ,mad wanna tell em you love em but they want remember it cause they're so wiped out. Yeah its a very aggravating thing to see someone sit there and slowly kill themselves.When they actually could have a good last part of their life. And they want stop no matter how much you raise hell about it.  Tell G I said hi and if there is anything at all we can do let us know babe ok... Get back here asap ...miss you girls  |

Tony, Thanks for the reply babe! Like I said, G & me are very touched by the response we've received. I can sympathize with you on what you're goin' through-yes, it's a hard thing. Just remember all you can do, is all you can do. Take it one day at a time, and go ahead and tell her you love her, whether you think she'll remember it or not. Chances are, she knows it anyway, but you'll feel better for having said it. And if ya ever wanna talk, you know where to find me. lol...I'll be the one chasing Gaston all over myspace! ;D Take care babe! Love ya! Oh, and P.S... G says "Hey Sweetie!" |

I think Led Zepelin said it best in a song called Stairway to Heaven with a phrase that goes something like this, Yes there are two roads you can go by but in the long run there's still time to change the road you are on. In your case G and Nikki you can change the What if's and guilt feelings and ALL the negative feelings by replacing them with the FOND MEMORIES of your MoM which will live in your heart forever. That will also keep your MoM alive when you think of all the pleasant times ya shared with her thruout life, growing up, her cooking, her caring for you, loving you. I am sure you can think of a MILLION fond memories.
Love Hooty

It sounds like if you take away the disease she was a wonderful woman. Hold on to knowing that she loved you and know she knew you loved her by tring to help her fight even when she didn't want to.
I know you girls don't know me but you are still in my prayers and I'll say an extra for the young one.
