My father passed away 2 years ago_comma_ but my mother lives in my neighborhood now. I'm so thankful she lives close by and still here with us. She's such a wonderful mother.
current: 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.
