My mother never graduated high school but she was smart. She was always there when I needed her but now she is gone.
My mother taught me the things I needed to know to be independent. She knew my sons but she never got the chance to see the fine young men they are.
She never knew my grand daughter because she died too young. She died on their wedding anniversary and I would like to think that she and my father were together on their anniversary and dancing together up in heaven.
