I miss my mom.  I got some flowers today so I could take them to the cemetery after church tomorrow.  She wasn't feeling well Mother's Day of 1997, and the following Sunday she passed away.  She would never know she would one day be a grandmother.  My brother and his wife were still newly weds;  the first grandchild would not arrive until 18 months ( Read more... )

...no one to hold hands with.
...no one to cuddle up with on a dark and stormy night.
...no one to snuggle up and watch old movies on TV with.
...no one to call up in the middle of the afternoon and ask "What should I make for dinner tonight?"
...no one to be able to say "Honey, I'm home" to.

 It's been a tough few days for Don and his whole family.  I felt the loss as well since I feel like part of his family.  Carolyn was a sweet and fun woman and I will miss her.  I haven't known them very long in the scheme of things, but they made me feel like I belonged ( Read more... )
