No matter what her age or yours. I still think it's her on the phone when it rings and I still reach for it to call her when something exciting happens. But she's there in my heart, and I'm glad of that.<BR/><BR/>Bonita, there are no words, you are so right. <BR/><BR/>Mary, I didn't always appreciate my mom, but all that changed when I had my son. Then I realized that she really DID know everything!

But at least you have warm, loving memories of your mother, as do I.<BR/><BR/>There are so many women out there who aren't prepared to be mothers who have children anyway. They keep their offsprings' therapists busy. But it sounds like you were blessed with a wonderful, caring mother. It shows in her daughter.<BR/><BR/>Love and many hugs to you.Squirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235466916480849429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229767.post-6984695793452692902007-08-21T06:25:00.000-06:002007-08-21T06:25:00.000-06:00What love and energy pouring out of your site.

I know this was hard for you to read, thanks for making it through. <BR/><BR/>Cathy, 911 was horrific, to be sure. Wolf, in his infinite wisdom said that he knew why grams had to go when she did. She needed to be there greet all of the victims of the attack and welcome them to heaven. He's an amazing person with a far greater understanding of life and death than I'll ever have.<BR/><BR/>Ur-spo, I've missed you too!
