~HUGS~ Marmie...I lost my mother in 2006. We found out that she was dying on Mother's Day, and she passed a week later.
I had made several things for her, and I have those things back. One, a friendship quilt with photos, I gave to my oldest son....it had pics of my ex on it, and I didn't think William would be comfortable having it displayed here. The other things were put away for awhile, but I have them displayed now, and enjoy the memories that are associated with them.
I am so sorry that you're feeling the pain that you are feeling! It does get better...know that you will see her again when the time comes, and in a much better place...~more hugs~
