You are all so thoughtful and far too kind. For those that think I am a strong woman, I don't know about that. But I do know that my mom was able to set the stage in such a way that she helped us as much as she could. I guess moms that are able just do that for their family until the very end. We have good days and tough days.
For those that I made cry, I hope they weren't sorrowful tears. My mom wouldn't like that.
But my mom's love of animals was passed on to all her family, and that's why YT has always been a special place to me - filled with a very diverse range of people - albeit all animal lovers. She used to like hearing my YT stories.
