Re: Stuck Inside a Cloud
I watched my mom freak out when she lost her mom (my grandmother). She had a long life and went quick. I couldn't understand why my mother wanted to hang on to everything she received from her. She would get upset if we broke a water glass that was her's. Now I see my mother getting slower with age and know it won't be too long before she can no longer take care of herself and I can understand why she hung on to those memories through her personal belongings. The sad feelings of loss will lesson over time but the happy memories will always stay and that is why we live our lives to create memories that no one can take away.
