For Grace

Condolences and warm hugs to you, Grace. It is hard to lose your mom no matter how old or out-of-it she is. My mom died last November, and it was so strange at Christmas and Mother's Day to realize afresh that she isn't here any more. I had problems with my mom in adulthood, but I remember that she was the first person who loved me and who taught me about the world. Even when she was suffering from dementia and severe emotional problems, she would often become the mother I remembered - just for a few moments - if she realized I was upset or sad. I think I concentrate more on my relationship with my own children now because I realize how important I am to them.
