The thing is, my mum was not very good at meeting some of my needs... and I coped with that, but she is gone and I'll never be able to ask her what recipe she used for something, or which cookbook something came from, or even just give her a call and tell her what's up with me and the rest of my family and friends, and that I love her. I have different memories of Mum than my sister does, simply because we are different people, and, I am 3 years older, and, mostly as adults, have done different things with Mum.
It's pretty hard for me right now to take the distant look... so I am very glad I have friends who can do that for me and point these things out to me. *hugs you tight* :-)
