I still have my mom but my dad passed alittle over ten years ago. I wish we would have talked more. Me and Mom have a great relationship. She is tickled that after all this time I was finally bitten by the sewing bug.
Did you guys know there are book called Tell me your story journals? You can get them from LTD commodities online. It is a guided journal where they fill in the blanks. While taking care of my Grandmother when she was dying from breast cancer I found a one she had started. There were some funny stories. Asked things like what their favorite color is favorite song, movie etc. And stories about their childhood. Very cool book to have!
