I lost my mom on Saturday.......... [View all]

Last edited Mon Oct 21, 2013, 10:47 AM - Edit history (1)

Longish illness. Moved her from her home to mine so I could take care of her and help keep her with me for as long as I could.

Have been scarce on DU because of this - but gladly.

I'm going to miss her terribly and right now, at this moment, it's difficult to think I can carry on.

Her last wish was for me and my family to "Be Happy" and in time, I hope to be able to do just that.

Thanks everyone.


She and I a few years ago.
