Yes, I need a box of kleenex....after reading your story I remember my own mom....sniffle a bit. When we lose our moms, we not only lose our mom, but our best friend as well. It's wonderful you have such great memories. It's been 5 years since my mom's passing and I still have good days and bad ones... love forges such a bond that it transcends time, the good news is that the memories become sweeter and the pain lessened a bit although the yearning for their prescence never ends.
Blessings & Peace,
