your mom didn't like it, or she refused to keep it, etc! But after reading this, I am so happy. Just as you intended, you made an extrodinary gift to your mother,........who cared if it didn't like anyone else? Your mother loved him, and he her.
I agree with the others. This life story with humor is what I love to read about. This was one of your best!
Your last line here?.............I don't know how long your mom has been gone, but mine has been gone almost six years, and there isn't a day that goes by that I do not yearn for her!
I just have to believe they are looking down on us, laughing with us, crying with us, celebrating with us, being sad with us! I think they know how much we miss them, and if they could, they would tell us to think only happy thoughts!
Thanks, Wayner! This is wonderful!
