I don't much mourn my mother on Mother's Day as celebrate her. This is my second one, also. My mother left me an orphan at the tender age of 66. Too soon.
I miss my mom, but she had such a good life that I just can't mourn her. The one thing I hope she knows is that I have a dog again after several years with out. That always bothered her, and I wish she could meet Sam.
Thanks for a wonderful MD post. I really do appreciate it.
