My mind goes back there so often and many of the thoughts and feelings you have expressed mirror mine. What a wonderful gift we had in our dear and devoted mothers. We can learn so much from them. Thanks for sharing your heart, dear friend. I think it's time for another lunch or cuppa something together. I love you!ROSALIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445598022762969183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170736184290277644.post-33921208295276165772012-10-01T00:52:03.975-06:002012-10-01T00:52:03.975-06:00Lovely story!
