I would like to thank all of you for your kindness. I would like to say it has helped me in some way..but right now my sadness is too overwhelming. I do cry for your sadness and loss. I just don't understand life anymore. Too much death in the world. As for my husband..he thinks I should put all the pictures of mom away and not think of her. This s how he has been getting around his sadness over losing his mom in 2000. I cry over the loss of his mom too..and I do this at times when I miss her the most. My mom is a constant presents in my home. In her old room..even though my daughter moved back into it. I still have her chair just as she left it in front of the window next to the birds she loved. Big hugs to you all. Anna
