Good Lord bless you Bullseye, my Mom took leave three years ago, and I do still miss her. I've learned to turn my mind to the great things she did and good times we had. Nowdays I'm very seldom sad about it, ( though it took a while) and feel grateful for being no burden to her in her later life, and to be able to live in such a way as to carry out her wishes for me and her family.
