As you mentioned, unexpectedly a rush of feelings overcame me...Anyway, thanks for sharing and making me realize I am not the only one that misses my mom.

Thank you for giving voice to my feelings. Like your mom, I lost mine at 62. Like yours, my mom had a passport never used. I miss my mom every single day. But I only have to remember memories and know that I was loved unconditionally. And she knew how I loved her. And that is my consolation. Thank you once again.
