Today is the 25 year anniversary of my mother's death. I'm 37, so I was pretty young, and she was pretty young too at three months before her 50th birthday. I remember she had so much integrity, laughed at everything, got pissed FAST, was extremely dedicated to her faith, volunteered for the domestic violence victims women's shelter and also got a family member and her FOUR children out of her abusive marriage hundreds of miles away and set all five of them up where he couldn't get at them, and smoked two packs a day. I attach pretty hard to loved ones' good moms ever since, and the loss has dulled but, I can confidently say after 25 years, will never ever go away. Nancy Kelly, you were one of a kind, and if I let myself, I really really really miss you.
