Hi Marilyn. Is there something new in the fact that this is another wonderful story? LOL Thank you so much for all of them and for the work you put in here. Mother is indeed one of the dearest persons in the world. Maybe only grandmom was whom I loved more or the same! Never knew for sure :-) We alway were great friends and had such a wonderful relationship. Now I try to do my best for being at least the same for my children. Hope one day they'll say the same about me. Have a wonderful weekend, Anamaria

HI Ana Maria, Thank you so much for such a lovely response! I really enjoyed reading what you wrote! I hope that your children will do that for you as well! Unfortunately, my Mom and I are not that close...we never were really! I was a Daddy's girl, so he was my best friend and confidante until he passed away. I was someone he trusted and confided in as well, he even made me his health proxy, which was a little hard to do when he was lying on his death bed. Anyway, I have made a point of wanting to be close to all my children...for the most part I have succeeded! Of course, we all make mistakes along the way, but for those mistakes I pray they have forgiven me for them. And I too hope that one day my children will be able to talk about me the same way as the woman in this story. Thanks so much for sharing, and God Bless, Marilyn
