    About this ebook

    This is a story of a woman missing the guidance, friendship and closeness of her mother. The mother lived a full life that was cut short by her bout with illness. It is not until years later that the daughter realizes that the best things that were about to happen to her are yet to come. Her mother is no longer available to share these events and the pain of the loss is still evident. She tells tales of their relationship and how impactful it has been to shape her viewpoints and thought process. The story shows the daughters strength and resolve in a situation that she has no control over.
