[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 9043, member: 2315"] Linda, My mom died in 2002. Sometimes I still think I'll call her to chat or tell her some little bit of news or a funny anecdote and then remember that I don't need a phone for that anymore. My sister's and I also made up a new tradition after my mom died. She had this ugly porcelain tomato that she kept for years. We don't remember how she came to own it but we do remember teasing her about it alot. It had a place of honor on a shelf over the sink in the house we grew up in and then she moved and it found it's way to the new shelf over the new sink. Well none of us could bear the thought of sending it off to the Goodwill when we packed up her townhouse so it came home with me. I decided that it should become the family ambassador of good will and my sisters agreed. So whenever someone is having a bad time or just to tell one of the sibs that she is thought of and loved we pack up the tomato with a little gift and send it off. It never fails to bring a loving thought and a small giggle to the recipiant. As you can guess it has spent alot of time at my house. But you have reminded me that it is time for the tomato to fly once again. (((HUGS))) to you. I know this hurts but it does get easier. -RM [/QUOTE]
