Mom, I just posted another tribute to dad as my April post is not visible. Today is really hard because I am thinking of both of you deeply on your 71st anniversary. I am hurting really bad. I get up each day and get through my day as normally as possible but I still hurt so deeply. It has been almost nine months since I said goodbye to you and it still hurts more than I could ever imagine. We spent Christmas in Arizona and were able to view old film clips of you and dad and oh my what a darling young couple you and dad made. I have to remind myself that you and dad are in a beautiful tranquil loving paradise. Your memory is back and you are young and healthy again. Love you forever. I am cherishing wearing your ring. I feel a surge of warmth flow to my heart when I wear it. We all miss you mommy. I love you.
