I don't know if I feel more deeply for those of you who are missing your deceased mums or who are better off w/o them. My deepest sympathies either way.
My own DM died 20 years ago, and I still think of her and miss her often. I still have those moments where I think, "Oh, I can't wait to tell Mum this!" and then realize she's no longer here. Not as much as after she first died, but, now and then. We had our issues, especially since she had trouble adjusting to being the mother of adults. But, overall, she was a good mum, and there are many fond, loving memories. I know not everyone here can say the same, and I'm so sorry about that.

Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
