My mom died on Mother's Day, technically. It was just after midnight, May 8th, 2005.

I had gotten her a flower arrangement the day before, and decided to give them to her early. She went on and on about how beautiful they were, and told me, "You always give me the nicest flowers." I'm glad I didn't wait until the next day.

It seems like forever ago, and also like just a minute ago.

Hugs to all who have lost their moms.
