Missing my mom: late summer 2011

It is difficult to believe that it was 7 years ago that she moved from Lachute and almost 5 years ago that she died.

I am reminded of her all the time. I saw some morning glories (flowers) on my walk around the neighbourhood this morning. She liked to grow them.

The only rug that she hooked is in my basement bathroom and it is starting to look a little tired. It is white and black and needs to be washed regularly.

It seems like all the time I hear about friends with elderly parents who are not doing well and needing more care or dying. It is a difficult time of our lives. My mom’s care always worked out and it was not difficult to deal with her.
