Mildred...

I know how you feel as my parents were divorced and I lost my Mom when I was just 22. My Dad really wasn't in my life so I was, like you, on my own. I mean I know that you are an adult when you are 22 or 23, but it would be nice to know that Mom or Dad were there if you need them.

I was talking to my Sister last night as our dear aunt is in the hospital and it looks as though she won't make it. We were talking about possible funeral arrangements and were thinking back to our Mom. I realized that at 22 I made all the arrangements, picked out the casket, cleaned out the home that I grew up in. It sucks. I share this with you to let you know that you can get through it. I sure did. It wasn't until much later that I really went deep end.... lol.

You are young and have your whole life in front of you. And, from chatting with you on line you are a blast and I am confident that you have the inner strength to pull through this.

Just think.... KW....
