Let mommy go....my mom year before she died, she was up and going till 96, looked at me on Mother's Day and said, "Are you going to wear that?" In a very judgy voice looking down at me. My daughter in her 40's laughed nervously. I have always dressed a bit bohemian and tried to wear my nicest pants and button down shirt. I have never worn make up and other stuff like my mom.

Let's just say, to the end it was challenging but it did end. I wish we had better relationship but you can't change people.

So live for today and the people in your life that give you joy.
