| My Valentine - 1970 |
I said first thing this morning.
She said it back to me.
My response; "This is the 49th time we have said this."
She said; "Yes. And my Mom passed away 50 years ago today. I can't believe it has been that long."
(My Valentine was just 18 at the time.)
I want to somehow fill that empty space in her heart. Space her Mom could have filled for so many more years. I know that I cannot possibly do this.
And I think about the wonderful relationship she has with her daughter.
And I wish she could have had more of the same with her Mom.
And I wish I could say this to her Mom;
"Your daughter has filled the room with her smiles and laughter for all of her days. She warms the hearts of her son, daughter and husband every moment she is in our lives. You must be so proud of her, your Julieann Marie. Thank you for giving her to us and Happy Valentines' Day Betty Thomas."
