In reply to the discussion: My mom died a month ago. It happened so suddenly [View all]pnwmom
(109,636 posts)3. I went to a meeting this weekend and there was a young woman there
who looked so much like my mother's photos, as a teenager. It was hard to look at her. It was hard not to look at her.
I finally spoke to her and told her my mother's last name and, yes, they were from the same background.
Every time the phone rings I think it's going to be her (she used to call me several times a day because she couldn't do much else except watch TV).
I miss her so much.
