This early afternoon, I decided to hang laundry to dry on our clothes lines instead of the dryer. My husband offered to help, Yay! But then I hesitated to do so because a gorgeous khaki dress my mom had given me simply vanished the last time I did that. And I broke, almost 3 years after her death as if her passing happened last night.

Your response made me smile and weep, feel a little less alone because you understand the magnitude of that love. And that is what always overrides the loss
