This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 17, 2009:
The last five years I spent a lot of time enjoying my Mom's company and helping her out. This March she passed away. Although she needed some practical help with day to day things, she was so wise and I miss her.
this past year, too, I have noticed a big change in two of my friends. I am reminded of the AA milne poem about the two bears where one got better and one got worse. One friend was always sharp and critial. Now she is in love and has really grown up. The other was a total Pollyanna, always seeing the bright side, and now she is bitter and critical. Either way, I always seem to be in the middle! Well, i guess that hasn't changed!!!!

Holly, hugs, of course you will miss your Mum, but gradually the good memories will come to the fore, she sounds lovely, and sounds like you were close, and I bet she passed a lot of her wisdom to you.
