Harry; this kinda hits home. I just lost my mom. There were many flowers yesterday on her grave, with a lot of elegance, but to us it was still sad. We were her children and she was our Mother. Thanks for reading my Lost Days of September. I don't have a part II now, but later I will post another one that has two parts. Lucilla
