It's good to acknowledge the sadness, Emily. You are right, you are lucky to still have your mom. My mom died way too young, in a family where everyone lives until their 90s. I wish she could have seen my kids become adults and meet their wives, especially when my younger son was living in San Diego. I think it would have changed a lot of things. I know she wouldn't want me to be sad, though. I do get a little sad about the daughter I lost at 8 months pregnant, because I see how my kids turned out. My granddaughter here looks just like her, and it makes me smile.
