A good life, well lived. I love you. And I forgive you for leaving. And thank you, in more ways than I can express, for more things than I remember, surely. I wish I had said to my mother, what Harvey said, today.... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/mothers_day_1.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/mothers_day_1.html Sun, 13 May 2007 23:49:16 -0600 Umm, what Harvey said, about my Mom anyway. And yours too, of course, judging by what you've told us. I'll quote Acidman again, "You always miss your Momma." http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/mothers_day_1.html#comment-60010 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/mothers_day_1.html#comment-60010 Tue, 15 May 2007 02:25:24 -0600 I was thinking about you and my friend Gina today. You both lost your Mom's since last Mother's Day. Keith had a terrible time at Father's Day and Easter (his Dad died near Easter) for many years. As a matter of fact, one of the most heartfelt conversations I had with him when we were first getting to know each other, was about how hard those two days are because he misses his Dad so much. Live's short; take advantage of it and make sure everyone around you knows exacty how you feel about them. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/mothers_day_1.html#comment-59986 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/mothers_day_1.html#comment-59986 Sun, 13 May 2007 21:57:56 -0600 You've brought tears there, fella. It wasn't that long ago I took a long time from work to head back to Kalifornia. I was able to get my mom out of the "home" and back into hers for her last months. It was the best I was able to do in thanks. I now thank you so very much for reminding me of this day, inspite of your own sorrow.
