chick, thanks for this thoughtful post. I am so glad you reminded me to wear something that belonged to Mom. I often do this for the holidays, but hadn't thought to do it for the graduations.

How long ago did your daughter graduate, and how long had your mom been gone at that time?

Nana just died this past summer. She died suddenly. We honestly thought she'd be here for another 15-20 years because her dad lived until he was 93. We were shocked.

Mom has been gone for 5 years.
