got my mom's ring back from the jewelers. i still and probably always will think of it as my mother's ring even tho she's been gone over a year. my mom was 2 inches shorter than me but her bone structure was heavy like her dad's. the ring was always too big for me. so i finally got it fixed for my finger. i can still look down at it and see my mother's hand wearing it. i wonder if that will ever change?

Sherry,
I don't think it will change, and I think that's a good thing.I lost my mom 10 years ago,there is so much I wish I'd said, so many things I want to ask her.

Little things, y'know? Like "Mom who's that tall guy next to Grandma in this picture" or maybe "Mom didn't we used to get milk delivered when we were kids?".

Do you see your habits or maybe speech patterns in yourself?

sometimes i can. it bothers me a bit. there are times when the lines blur. she was just about 91 when she died and still lived on her own but i saw her all the time. we lived close by. she was a very outspoken personality. i never was.
but, yeah, i can see hints of her in me and some of the good parts of my father as well.
