Welcome Ai Mee!

Months after Jon, I desperately needed someone to talk to, someone who is going through the same pain, who could understand me. I was also looking for an escape route from friends and family who cannot stop saying things that I don't want to hear. I only heard of Ai Mee then from our mutual friend Jenny who described her as strong. And "I wonder if she would speak to me?". "Please find out if she would", I asked Jenny. A few hours after, I had my first of many conversations with Ai Mee..

The conversation started jerkily because I was nervous because I have asked to arrange this. After a short, very, very short intro, the sharing started immediately. It was like no time wasted, it seems like a mutual need was mutually met. Yes, you could say we were soul-mates bonded by so many factors.

That Erica, her only child crossed-over on the 10th morning, a few hours after Jon did. That she was so willing to share, so wanting to reach out. We were simply there for each other sharing our tears, laughs, sms-es, phone calls. There were no "you shouldn't do this, you shouldn't do that". We just knew what to do. Finally we met end November, 2006, and now she is my first mum member. This is her story...
