One of the hardest things in life is to let go of someone you love . The loss seems to just consume us. As the days go by life gets a little easier and we learn to live without our loved one and the grieving becomes a little lighter. They say time heals, and our thoughts and memories take over the grief. The love between you and your Mom Fern will last forever, and one day you will meet again. Oh what a reunion that will be . My heart breaks for you and your family . Your in my thoughts and prayers .
