I usually love to post following UG because he makes me look so darn good by comparison. But not this time. Let the record show I agree with UG completely. Then burn the record and shred the ashes.

dar, your lovely and loving tribute to your mother made me cry. Clearly she was a wonderful woman, based on what you've told us, and equally clearly she was a wonderful mother, based on what we've all seen of you over the years. You're passing on those parenting influences just as you think ahead at the movies and sleuth your way through that code. It is that kind of living mark left on you that represents a kind of immortality that, I hope, will bear your up when you feel crushed by grief. The grief and sadness in you will pass. Her love for you lives on in your memories and words and actions.

I'm here for you dar.
