ron, my sympathies and my heart go out to you. I agree with pokeydots, a mom is a mom and she knew...even if you aren't sure that she did. :) I know what it's like to lose that part of you that you called "mom" and it's a hard thing to have happen. And I agree with you, hug your loved ones tight and close and tell them how you feel, none of us are guaranteed tomorrow. Take care of yourself and God Bless. Pendy
