I've been really missing her again lots recently.....the best way I've found to deal with it is to remind myself that I was fortunate to have her for as long as I did and that she was a wonderful enough mother that she left such a big hole in my life. A bit Pollyanna-ish but usually enough to keep me from crying in public (although not right now, here at home.....).<BR/><BR/>Hugs and retail (yarn?) therapy available in person upon request ;-)BJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533424387698710991noreply@blogger.com
