I just logged on for the first time today and I just wanted to say that although it's unfortunate we need to have a topic like this, its comforting to know there are other brides who had to be without their mother on their wedding day. It was such a double edged sword to not have her there and now to think of possibly having a child without her there to share in it is another hurdle we will all have to survive. Good luck to you all and know that your mom is around somewhere! At least I believe that. Jus
