I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Thank you for sharing their story. Your parents were obviously destined for one another and now they are reunited.

My mother died four years ago today at 1:30 a.m. As I sat by her beside that night I consoled myself with the thought that my parents would be having breakfast together in the morning.

About three hours before she died, the young nurse who had been assigned to sit in the room removed my Mother's stockings and gently washed her feet. The enormity of that simple act of kindness did not register with me until the next day.

Whenever I think of my parents, the memories are pleasant and sustaining and I hope know doubt that your memories will be the same.

Dave, that was simply a beautiful eulogy! I'm sure she's in a happy place now. Your comment about the first Mother's Day after she's gone, struck home with me. My Mom passed in July 2005 (and Dad in Jan 1995)....I certainly think of both of them often, but on both Mother's Day and Father's Day, their Birthdays, and the Holidays, especially Christmas, I choose to think they are here with us.

Thanks for sharing your memories of both your folks with all of us!
