I know and feel your pain. My mom has been gone 6 years come this Sept. The pain still feels like yesterday. She and I made a good team when it came to sewing. I would sew and make all her and my clothes and she would do all the hand work on anything for me since I dislike hand work. She took a quilting class with me.....our first journey into quilting. She only came bacause, she later told me, she wanted to be with her daughter......awwww mom, I really miss you. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. Hugs to you QuiltingGrannie and all those whose moms have passed.
