My blog "The Squashed Bologna" is mostly about the final months of my father's life (he just passed this March) & if it wouldn't make you too sad thought you might want to come visit.<br /><br />I look forward to meeting up w/ you at blogHer 10 - in my home town here in NYC.Vardahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13542045802860922751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30938531.post-45295387618991541762010-05-06T16:36:29.071-07:002010-05-06T16:36:29.071-07:00I feel you!

She died in August, four years ago, but it's Mother's Day that I remember her the most. <br /><br />She never got to play with my kids, either. And she would have loved to. Oh, she would have loved to.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.
