95.   Mothers day.   This year my mom would have been 95.    It's a rather melancholy feeling not having a living mother.
I came across a poem the other day which seems fitting in dealing with loss of friends/family:
      I loved my friend.
   
      He went away from me.  
      There's nothing more to say.
      The Poem ends, 
      Soft as it began- 
      I loved my friend.
