Your Mother had a wonderful son who made it a point to visit regularly and, thankfully, you made it back in time at the end. I felt close to her when we both had broken our wrists at the same time and you wrote about her recovery. At that time, I don't recall that I saw we both shared the same name, as well. It was only a couple of nights ago, when I couldn't sleep, that I was remembering my Mother's death and I was shocked when I realized it had been 19 years ago. Time will heal the pain, trust me. But there are hardly any days that go by that something that is said, or something that has happened, reminds me of her. I am so sad for you and your family, but pleased that you will be there to share with the rest of your family your lives together.<br /><br />Mary in OregonMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04911284607089608538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-59084079112574633882018-02-07T16:50:01.080+01:002018-02-07T16:50:01.080+01:00So sorry for your loss.
