RE: Nancy and Steph

[Guest guest]

My heart goes out to you. I still have my mom and thank God every day that she

is here with me and that she is in her right mind. She turned 80 a few days ago

I don't know how I will deal with life without her. I don't visit her as much

as I would like but we talk almost every and sometimes several times a day.

Often those of who still have our mothers take it for granted and complain about

things that annoy us. After losing my sister to breast cancer in 2005, I

realized how short life is and how precious it is. I stopped taking my mother

for granted. I try to make time to talk with her when she calls even if I feel

overwhelmed with other things. I realize that one day she may not be here and I

will wish for these days. I try to make the best of them. It does us all good

to be reminded of the importance of our loved ones especially our mothers.

Thanks all.
