Donna I hope that you read this I am so soory that your Mother has past. I know what it feels to struggle daily with the what ifs and Yes sometimes they are justified. Just always rememebr that someone else shares all your thoughts with you and can always make you feel better. I talk with your girls and they are two fine women. Hold on to the good and let go of the bad even when when it feels like there is more of one then the other. I love ya your cousin SISSY
