 I miss my mom terribly. She now lives so far away. I can only imagine how it must feel for others that have their loved one even farther than I.

 I talk with her on the phone as much as I can. It just doesn't fill the void of having her here with me. I constantly think back of the good ol days! the humor it brought to me and the sad times too. Our conversations now consist of her working and or loosing things. Or about how others where she lives steal things from her. I know she just miss places the stuff. She is a good "stasher". Funny, I am still finding things around here from before she left.

 Summer has finally hit No. Ca. and it is hot here. I miss hanging out at the pool with mom. I miss taking her out on the boat! I used to let her drive and she would scare the hell out of all of us. I hope I never loose my memory.

 I still cry, just not as often. I think what helps me most is trying to help others. I get emails from people asking what I have found out about Medi-Cal/Caid......   some follow up with me and others just seem to not care as much. Oh well, makes me feel better.

 I signed up with the Alzheimer's assc. to hold a golf toun. and see what we can earn for the cause. I challenged my buddies to beat me(not hard to do) and the monies go into a kitty for the cause.. I signed up for a toun. in Sept.? for the cause.... 

 "THE CAUSE".  I want my Mom back home. I feel like I was here cause.  Just like the rest of you, I have both good and bad days. I have been traveling and visiting family. My Uncle now has cancer.YUK

 I started drinking a lot, lucky for me I stopped befor it got to far out of control. 

 

 I have a tee time comming up so I had better get going..

HUGS to all of you

Bill
