My mother passed away two years ago this May and the memories of her I brought home - jewelry, pictures, letters, and keepsakes are still scattered around my house.

A few days after she died I had to go and get a Mother's Day card for my mother-in-law. We get through somehow, don't we. Don't know how, but we do.
