i empathize, Heath, ..but at I suppose a different stage of mourning. here's an example of how Jake felt yesterday, as he wrote it in a note and sent it out to all the sons and daughters he knows:

Cherish your mothers tomorrow everyone. Goin' to be a rough one for my family and I know many others around the world, but for all who have mothers around to be thankful for, show them all your love :). Flowers! Big hugs! Make 'em cards. Breakfast. Lunch, dinner. Do dishes wash their car, and let them know in any way possible that you love them:).

Decided this year instead of being sad, I will remember my mother's amazing 40+ years on this earth and my 18-19 years of knowing and being blessed with her love :). She will always be remembered and watching over us! Love you, momma.
