Nice remembrance Willie. Think I might purloin the theme for my own blog.
Ahhh Willie, I was ok all day till I read that. We will always miss her.
I was okay before I wrote it and afterwards. During it, my monitor got a pressure wash of tears.
As threatened...I started a list of Mom's faves...I didn't give way to tears, but there were some hard swallows as memories flowed/ebbed. It's been 33 years now, and the ache is still with me. Yes...we will always miss our mothers.
RIP Maureen, and Hazel.
A sad remembering. One that I haven`t yet had to experience. Until you meet again......
