Red -

Beautiful...

My Dad is MIA in Vietnam - be 36 years this March 15 - and I still feel his
presence, and every time I go somewhere where he and I had talked about
visiting or had visited, I have this need to take a few minutes and spend it
with him - and I always find him there.  My wife has come to recognize this
and gives me this couple of minutes alone.  Still celebrate his birthday,
still wear an MIA bracelet for him.  Time heals a lot of wounds, and soothes
a lot of the sorrow in our hearts, but never dims the memories of those we
love.

Here's to your Mom - may she forever be in your heart and your thoughts.
