my mother lives in the same neighborhood as i do and i am so happy she lives close. my father passed away about years ago and i am so thankful she is still here with us.
i am sorry to hear that, i know it is so hard to lose a parent. i think we take them for granted when we are younger, but i am blessed she is still here.
i am glad that she is living close to you. that must make you feel special. my mom is dead so i understand how you feel.
