Dear Humarock ~ That was indeed a beautiful post and I thank you for sharing it with us.

You and I think an awful lot alike ~ I was brought up Catholic too, but I don't go to church or read the Bible. Maybe that's why we think so much alike, huh? lol.
Your Mom sounds like a wonderful woman and I don't doubt a bit that you miss her. BUT, I know for a fact that she's with you. You probably feel her presence once in awhile, don't you? It's not your imagination.

I lost my mom almost 6 years ago, and I feel her around too.
Thanks again for sharing this. And you're right ~ we all grieve in our own way, in our own time. God bless you and please take care. Peace, Lee
