Thankful - Day 17

I am thankful for my mother.  Today she would have been 65.  I don't think I understood the gravity of how truly young my mother was when she died until the last few years. 49 years old is so young to die...I have siblings in their 40's for heaven's sake. I miss her more as my years on this Earth pass.  I have so many questions I'd like to ask her...and oh how I'd lover her to hold my baby boy and teach me how to nurse my son.  I am so thankful for all she taught me while she was with me everyday.  I hope I am a fraction of the mother she was.  I am thankful for all she sacrificed for us.
