I also was very close to my mom. She died when I was 29 yrs old. I am 62 yrs old now.Like you said there are a handful of days in the year that I really seem to miss her more than the other days. This is one of them.Sorry to say but you will all always miss your mama.That's just part of life.I was so lucky to have such a wonderful mom.We sure had alot of fun together in the years we did have together.Happy Mother's day to all of you even if you are not a mom,you at least had one.Mary
