Sorry for your loss Terriann - I also got to spend the last six weeks with my mom - while it was a difficult time, it was also special time. Living in a different state had made our visits be daily telephone calls for most of the 5 years she was ill - so I was so glad to have had it.
Soon, I hope good memories begin to replace each tiny ray of sadness - but holidays are hard. I will be thinking of you this Christmas season.
