Sheron & Tressie,
As I sit here, early morning reflections. It has been 32 years today since our Moms passing. I still remember as if it were yesterday. This day was such a first for us. Young ladies, young families, lot of responsibilities not wanting or needing to take over, lots of hurts and such a long miserable illness. I think it is about time I let go of some of the hurts and pain I still hold on to. Our Mom was one of the most loving yet most complicated people to know. She loved all of us with all of her heart, but she was such a true perfectionist and expected such perfection from us that maybe it was hard for me to live up to. Coming along in her life as the 3rd child, she was already tired of lots of childish things. I brought back to her a part of her early adult life and the pain and sorrow for her, that was hard to let go of and forget. But I will no longer hold on to this for her or myself. I am letting go right now and forever more the anguise and pain that I have harboured now for so many years. I will let her go and rest in peace. I still love her today as I always did. Good, loving, Mom. Gave us her life and her all. Eletia
