Wonderful post!
--Jessica
It was a wonderful post, and brought tears to my eyes. Frances, a book you might like is "Kiss Me Goodnight," which contains stories and poetry written by girls who grew up without a mother. I love the book. It's edited by O'Fallon and Noonan. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your blog so much. I'm always happy when I see you've updated!
i always wonder how bad would be the life without mother...mother is like a gift we have which makes our life special.........love you mom!
