Thank you so much for posting this wonderful...Bob,<br /><br />Thank you so much for posting this wonderful tribute to your mother. Reading it brought tears to my eyes and brought memories of my Mother back to me. Like you, I was very close to my Mother. I was struck by how much our mothers looked alike, even down to the same hairdo. I even have a picture of my Mother next to a blossoming tree like the one in your post. <br /><br />My Mother died two years ago. When she died I felt like part of me died with her. I would never be the same and I am not. Just yesterday my brother and I were talking about her again. As you said Bob, "....it gets easier, but it never really gets better." <br /><br />Thank you again Bob for sharing.<br /><br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-71356370002930314092013-02-17T14:47:05.530-05:002013-02-17T14:47:05.530-05:00What a beautiful post and ode to your mother.

Hospice is a god-send. Maybe the pain of loving someone we love gets easier to live with but it never goes away. We just relish the good memories and try to shelve the bad.
