Your are turning out beautiful work. Maybe it is an extension of the love you have felt from your mother over the years. The ones of us who have lucky parents lose them before we go (losing a child is awful). Don't worry about how long it will take you to stop missing her. If you are one of the lucky ones, you never will. But time does heal the hurt. You are doing all you can and that will be a comfort later. Love to you both. Sierra
