I'm sorry for your loss, DE. I lost my mom 5 1/2 years ago, gosh I can't believe it's been that long, sure doesn't feel like it. Although I have two kids of my own, and Mother's Day is still meaningful to me, I must admit that not having my mom here to say the words Happy Mother's Day to has taken some of the happiness out for me. I know exactly what you mean about hearing your mom say I Love You back. The words resonate in your heart in such a very special way. When we lose our mothers, we try to bring that reverberation back, just so we can feel it again, to pretend that we hear our mother's say it once more, but somehow it falls short of the real thing. My thoughts to you today, Dallas East.
And thank you for the Mother's Day wish to us, even through your personal pain. You are a kind man, sir.
