The first two people I call when I have something important to share are my sister Heather and my best friend Darby. And it is never in the same order. Sometimes I call Heather first sometimes Darby. Just depends on what it is I have to tell them and who I know will be available to take the call.
I used to always call my mom first. It's been a hard transition to not be able to call her. That is one of the things I miss the most. And now that a month has passed since she died I thought that would be easier but I caught myself just today thinking "I've got to call mom and tell her this." I don't know that it will ever go away... So whenever that thought crosses my mind I call Heather or Darby and just tell them instead... It's not the same but I'm so grateful I still have those two to call!
So who do you call when you have something important to share?

I feel your pain of not being able to call your mom when you want to speak with her. I lost my sister over 10 years now and I still sometimes wish I could call to see what she would say. I remember when I stated a new phone book and realized there was no place to put her and no number I could reach her at. I have a real hope in the resurrection promise stated in the bible at Revelation 21:3-4, may this comfort you.
I am have a large network of friends both men and women. I just have to take time to decide how much time I have and how deep I want to go into any topic. I truely am a very fortunate person. My friends are a blessing and a joy to me. May you have the opportunity to widen-out and allow your network to grow to over flowing measures.
The people I turst live with me, as my father just moved in. Sometimes I do call my mother, but usually wait untol we are together and give her the full update.
It will be 27 years today (Oct 6) since my mother died and I still find myself thinking "Boy, can't wait to tell Mom this one!".
What's funny to me about this is that Mom and I didn't have a really smooth relationship. What we generally had was a fight over something or other every blasted day and yet, I still after all these years, find myself missing those fights, ridiculous as they were, and the occasional times when we actually agreed on something, had the same emotional reactions, etc.
I don't think one ever loses the "missing" part of any especially close family member or friend.
