Remembering

It was 3 years ago today that I lost my mom and grandmother. Mom was living with me here in Dallas and grandma in her native Minnesota. Mom went first, only by a few hours. We were happy they went together as they were very close. Neither one knew that the other had died, until they both got to heaven and hooked up!

I miss you both terribly. I am sober, but sad.

we're all with you today

It helps me to remember the good times with those who have passed...laughter really is a medicine I think?

I used to have such good times with my mom and grandma! They both had great senses of humor. My grandma recalled a story about when they owned a restaurant and lived above it. My mom would come downstairs and sit with the patrons and start babbling about whatever. The customers loved her (age 3-4). One couple started telling her how cute she was and mom said something like "I'm cute and not constipated like my sister". She meant to say "conceited" Too funny.
