Di, I am feelimg very close to you right now. I miss my Mommy too. She was and will always be the best friend I have had the honour of having in my lifetime.
I too miss my family. I am in the USA. My brothers, sisters, children AND grandchildren are ALL in Canada.
For someone who is outgoing, caregiver and avid volunteer,I am now in the USA as a spouse with no visitors and spend much time alone. No one comes here either...

I join you in lamenting about missing your family. God Bless you sister. You are not alone in your yearning.
