You were both very lucky to have each other. I would have loved to have someone write about my father for me.

It was hard reading this because it brought back memories of losing my very good friend to lung cancer - a woman with two small kids and who'd never smoked in her life. Like I said, random.

I mean that I am glad she could make the decisions that were right for her at the end, given the lousy choices. <BR/><BR/>It may be hard to know the best time to give Elizabeth what you wrote about her mother. I am certain that whether it's in her younger or older teen years or later, she will be very grateful that you did that for her. I like the idea of Nicole laughing at you as you roll onto the race, bleary eyed in the am. She will no doubt be very close to you as you run. <BR/><BR/>As ever, CarverCarverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968919406427737503noreply@blogger.com
