STILL MISSING MY MOTHER BUT LIFE IS GOOD

It has been 18 months since my Mother's passing and all of us still miss her. But we are moving forward and have left much of the painful memories behind. I found a little bottle of her perfume still in our bathroom closet where I put it before she went to the nursing home. Lately I've been wearing it. The fragrance makes me feel very close to her. I don't think I could have worn it last year, but time is healing the wounds left by Alzheimer's and I am grateful.
