I'm at my Dad's thru tomorrow, and I'm helping him by cleaning out stuff. This morning, I had to go through Mom's clothes. I was doing really well for about an hour, then I lost it.

I miss you, mommy. :( :hug:

I can only imagine how difficult this is and how much you miss your mother. I know she's with you, but it's still not the same. :(

[RevCheesehead]

52. I was talking to her as I went through her clothes.

"Yeah, Mom, I know the underwear is brand new. But it's against the law to donate it, so I have to throw it away. And no, I'm NOT going to use them for cleaning rags."

Mom has a good sense of humor, too. ;)

:hug::hug::hug:
