Odd what we will do to keep the connection alive. I drank my mom's coffee and smoked her cigarettes, even though I had given up smoking over 30 years ago. A friend took her mom's medication! I brought purple clothes pins back home across the ocean with me, not because I needed them. And her suede cleaning towels, and several elephants of varied sizes. But it is not about the things, but the connection, the heart. I am touched, thanks.suenosdeuomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674675232587257034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35152765.post-92105019950241496182010-04-06T17:28:21.512-04:002010-04-06T17:28:21.512-04:00thats really sad actually....

I was there to take care of my dad. It was one of those shampoos that claims to restore the color red to hair. My dad was a former redhead then mostly gray. I remember him saying- "hey this might work for me, I think I'll try that." It was his last trip to the store. It's been in my shower for a year and I just tossed it out on Friday.
