Thanks, guys. I know there's not much you can do or say.

I just get almost angry sometimes...because Mom was taken away and I have no one new locally to talk to, no woman to look up to anymore. Yeah...there's Dad, and I'm closer to him than I've ever been before, but it's not the same at all.

I imagine you know what I mean, Hair. And I'm sure as happy as these last few months have been for you, there must still be moments when you miss her terribly and wish she could be there for all this.

Well, I'm here. That's all I can do. I can't exactly relate, but I can sympathize - and I'm glad you can cry about it, because that's better than locking it up inside.

I too am close to my Dad, and I am happy about that, but there are things you want to pick up the phone and talk to mom about.

I wish ecurbh could have met her.
