1. It made me sad when I read...

his mama died.

2. His tribute made me cry

Truly lovely - I'll post it tomorrow. He did point out that she was 92 but he expected her to live forever. Age doesn't matter when parents die.

3. If I'm up I'll watch the replay...

we do expect our parents to live forever. I can't even think about losing mine.

4. Mine are long gone

Funny how their voices are etched in my brain.

5. I'm sorry...

voices and smells. I lived with my granny for a time when I was little and was very close to her, so when she died it was like losing a mother. She had a certain smell--a nice smell--every now and again I can smell it. I like to believe she's come for a visit.

to answer some of the "south" threads.
