I can't image how sad it must have been for your mother to have to let go of you. (Kleenex break.) I have no doubt she would have been so very proud of you and so happy about how well you are living your life.<br />love and hugs, CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086689852914881504.post-22124930091429224992011-06-19T23:49:24.148+09:002011-06-19T23:49:24.148+09:00GW - Sorry!

Again, beautifully written, straight from the heart. I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your mother to cancer. We thank God every day that my mother won her battle against that horrible disease (16 years and counting), thanks to people like Betty Fox and her son. Let's all keep fighting the good fight.Clare Mareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16649051146009841405noreply@blogger.com
