I continue to be amazed at Micki's peaceful thoughts about the death of her mom and husband. I have only experienced(not only,but you know what I mean) the death of my mom and still miss her dearly. There are always reminders. Today would have been my parents 54th. wedding anniversary! I am so grateful we celebrated the big 50 with a grand party for them. What a blast we had! Anyway, I too still think to call Mom and fill her in on my kid's lives. I also think to call her when I feel down because she would sense it and make me feel better. There is nothing like the love from my mom. Micki, your strength gives me strength!
