Ah, you and yer mom are in my thoughts. I don't know sometimes what happens as we grow older. Harry Chapin's 'Cats in the Cradle' is too, too true. I suppose we do all have our own lives, and it unfortunately gets in the 'way' of those we love and care about. My dad and I used to be really really close. Like, talked several times a day close, and saw each other for coffee every day. But then, well, he got remarried, and I'm very happy for him now because he's finally happy. He so deserved to be happy. Sometimes when I remember how close we used to be though it makes me sad, because we were all each of us had for a long time. I guess I just miss hanging out with him. I was totally a tom boy when I was young, used to follow him around the farm for hours. I learned a lot though, and I'm thankful for the time we had. I just miss him. When we're young we never appreciate our parents enough.
