Dear Aunt Margie: its been a few years now, and I still miss you and your wisdom, your understanding and practical advice. How I wish you were still here to help me navigate through this roller coaster of caring for mom. I used to call you on Thursdays on my way home from work. I still want to do that!!
Some days, I'm miserable when I ponder that mom could last another 20 years, live as long as her dad did. Then I feel guilty -- its not that I am wishing her gone, just trying to make plans. Because I like things orderly!
Sometimes I lay in bed and think "what would Margie say??" And sometimes I know the answer that comes to me is from you.
What I wouldn't give to have just one more call with you!
