A Life Well Lived

Memories are our greatest treasures. We all have them in abundance, and like gold or silver, they only have value when shared. Through the years, we experience the loss of friends, relatives, acquaintances, family pets, and we reminisce. The greatest loss for a parent is the loss of their child, but the loss of a parent is also devastating. The feeling of loss is the same at age fifty-six as it is at age eight. This is a remembrance of my mom, Tina. She delighted in her memories. They were her treasure. She loved sharing them, and as difficult as some of these life experiences may have been, she came through with grace, humor, understanding, and compassion.
I hope you enjoy reading about Tina as much as I enjoyed having her as my mom.
