Both were lost to cancer. It was terrible to see parents waste away like that... people that I relied on for strength and support (whether I admitted it or not).<BR/><BR/>*<I>Sigh</I>*The Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723009641287783218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026895245812784020.post-43714468238334279512009-03-31T08:24:00.000-04:002009-03-31T08:24:00.000-04:00Lovely video.

I lost both my grandparents last year and while having them live with me during the last 5 years of their lives wasn't always easy I wouldn't have traded the experience for anything.<BR/><BR/>I read about your mother and I'm extra glad that mine is so close. I know how hard it is to be far away from someone you love when they need help and/or comfort.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.tabbikatsthoughts.us" REL="nofollow">Tabbikat's Thoughts</A>Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04464112147788839622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026895245812784020.post-745310069201751912009-03-31T07:03:00.000-04:002009-03-31T07:03:00.000-04:00I've lost both mine...my mom first in 1990 and the...I've lost both mine...my mom first in 1990 and then my dad in 1994. It's still a rough row to hoe sometimes, and I continue to think of them daily. The hurt of losing them has receded, but the memories, good and bad, remain. I consider you a very lucky woman to have your mom still with you, even if it's miles away.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>My Heads or Tails is all about the sea that surrounds me at home, and the Art Museum by the sea.
