I completely understand about being willing to give just about anything for one more day with your Mom. *HUGS You*. I always imagined it would be hard, but could never imagine it would be this hard.

Thanks ^_^ {{{hugs}}}

In some ways, I think it is worse when you know it is coming. Then all those days that you didn't spend with her just seem like SUCH a waste. It just sucks all around.
