Just a quickie because I really do need to finish getting ready and scurry off to work.

Today would have been my mom's 82nd birthday.  She's been gone for seven years now, and although the pain of her absence has lessened slightly, there's still a hole in my life that I doubt will ever be filled.  Like any mother-daughter relationship, we didn't ( Read more... )
