thank you for sharing that with us lixy. it's wonderful...beautiful...and what makes it so is not only the kind of person she was and the kind of mom she was, but that she left such a gift of memory with you and despite her faults...or perhaps because of them...you can feel her close to you still. after all this time has passed you can love her just as much as you ever did and feel her presence in your life and see what her take on the world may have been. after all this time she is still mothering and guiding you. if i can leave my children with half the legacy your mother left for you, i'd consider myself lucky indeed.
