So sorry for your loss. My mother died almost 20 years ago, and I still get
the urge to pick up the phone to talk to her. The hurt gets less over
time...

So sorry. My Mom's been gone 2 years now and I really feel it whenever
I have good news or juicy gossip to share.

I lost my father nearly 28 years ago. There are so many things I could
never share with him. He died too young to know any of his spendid
grandsons. And I still find myself thinking I must tell Dad that... So
I know your loss, and am sending ((((((Lynne Hugs)))))) to ease the
transition. No matter what your age, becoming an orhan when a beloved
parent goes is hard.

Sorry to hear about your mom. Sounds like you all loved her a lot and
I'm sure she knew that.
Hugs
