Your Mom was a lovely looking woman, and I'm sure you miss her a great deal.

My mother passed on the day before my very small, informal wedding in 1978, when I was 31. She had inoperable breast cancer and was 67. I kept the corsage I was taking to pin on her at the hospital, and put it on her casket before her cremation a few days later.

She lived to be 76 and that is amazing considering all her health problems. She was diabetic and had CHF and hypertension. Open heart surgery in 1991 and she was never the same afterwards. Her surgeon said her heart stopped during the bypass procedure and it took 15 minutes to get it started again, so technically she was dead for that time. I think that affected her personality the most in her later years.
 

This time of the year definitely adds nothing towards making things easier as far as accepting the loss of loved ones.

Pinky, I can't imagine. I would have been so distraught, I don't know how in the world I would have been able to move forward with the wedding.

Mom was bedridden in hospital for awhile at that point. She was waiting for my younger brother to arrive from Vancouver. She was waiting for the wedding day, so excited for us, that we decided to go forward. I felt her with me, in the chapel, like her arms were around me, in a warm glow all day. We had a small party at my sister's house afterward.

I just can't imagine how hard that would have been on you.

You're a very strong person.
