My mom's been gone for 18 years now and I still miss her so much. Every day I have questions I wish I could ask her. I did not have any siblings, my dad is gone and most other relatives are gone too, so I have questions that will never be answered. I try to tell my kids stuff when it crosses my mind so maybe they won't have unanswered questions. Some days I just feel like an orphan! I am thankful for my four wonderful children and 9 grandkids. But it is nice to have someone to share old family history and childhood memories.
