Ilene, I really enjoyed this point of view on your mother. I am on holidays with my aging mom and dad and appreciate the idea of keeping them, especially my father, as my wise counsel for the rest of my life. I also know that my bigger than life in-laws continue on for my husband and son as well, always present in our thoughts. I do believe this is how they continue on in our thoughts for generations.
Thank you, Dee, it’s nice to find a permanent way to keep our parents with us. There is much more to this story, and sadly, neither of my parents were prepared emotionally for a gentle night. Strangely, the first clue of this new look came from the grandmother I hardly knew — more stories to come. Thanks again.
