Always, Mo. I lost my mother unexpectedly just a few years ago, when she was in her mid-fifties. I don't believe a day goes by that I don't feel her near me or blessed for the time we had. I have no doubts that memories of your mother will comfort and inspire you in the same way and she will always be near.
My prayers are with you and your family.
I always felt that way with my father and I have no doubt I will feel my mothers spirit near me also.
Last night as I was trying to wrapped the million gifts that Santa brought the kids .. I kept losing the scotch tape .. for some reason I thought mom was having a chuckle at me
It's a long story .. but my mom was forever misplacing things .. that we use to tease her and say, she just put it in a safe place
